As expectations build, let’s break down the numbers and see what it needs to achieve to reach its break-even point. Keep scrolling for the numbers.
The movie received positive reviews and opened with strong box-office numbers. Rob and Zendaya’s star power has a lot to do with that; otherwise, it would have been crushed under The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The film debuted at #3 owing to Project Hail Mary’s strong domestic hold even in its third weekend. But it still went well for the rom come.

How much does The Drama need to break even?
According to media reports, The Drama was made on a modest budget of $28 million. However, the film has already recovered its reported production cost at the box office, thus passing its first hurdle. Now, according to the industry’s 2.5x multiplier rule, the film needs around $70 million at the box office to break even. The film must hit this break-even target to move into profitable territory. With this momentum, the film is expected to achieve it without much struggle.
