A film’s budget plays a dominant role throughout the film’s life cycle—with implications going far

beyond the mere cost of the film. Perhaps the most tangible aspect of a film’s budget is that the amount
that distributors will pay for a film is almost always calculated as a percentage of the budget (the
“budget/sales corollary”), regardless of the script, the cast or anything else.

For example, if two identical films with the same script and stars were made, and one was made for $50
million and one was made for $10 million, the one made for $50 million would typically sell for five
times more than the film made for $10 million.

So, In general we can say, the budget includes all costs relating to the development, production, and
post-production of a film. Thus, the budget includes, for example, costs of acquiring the script, payments
to talent, and production costs.

Now the question is whether the High Budget Means movie is going to make a higher revenue or profit.
The highest earning movie is Avatar with $328M Budget and had generated 1.85B i.e a profit of 460%.
And the same time Home alone with a budget of just $15M earned 476M which comes out huge 3000%
profit.

Also if we compare movies from the same production house with almost same Budget. i.e Dark Knight
and Wonder Woman 1984. One has done a profit of $560M and the other had a loss of $142M in the
same order.

With the data recited now, we can never judge that a movie would earn high or whether that movie
would be rated high because of the money involve in making and marketing.

I would now invite Salman to shed light on other factor by which we can speculate that a movie can earn
high.
