Two months ago the generally vague perception was that Morten Tyldum‘s Passengers, which everyone in my realm hated, was a bust. It cost $110 million to make and God knows how much to market vs. a 2.20 domestic box-office tally of $98,586,740 — well short of break-even. But the overseas tally so far is $195,308,285 for an overall world gross of $293,895,025. Add worldwide streaming revenues and it seems likely to at least be in profit by day’s end…no?
