Ghost in the Shell tops the international box office (Topic)

The adaptation of the popular Japanese manga "Ghost in the Shell" topped international distribution. According to the Vairety edition, this happened after the successful start of the picture in China, where its receipts amounted to $ 21.4 million. In the original homeland, Japan, the movie had a much worse start - $ 3.2 million, while Japanese fans of the manga generally appreciated the Hollywood version positively.

The total earnings of "Ghost in the Shell" were at the time of this writing $ 124 million. This result cannot be called satisfactory, since the production budget of the project was $ 110 million. The exact advertising budget was not named, but it apparently amounted to tens of millions of dollars.

Previously, experts suggested that that according to the results of the rental of the studio Paramount will have to "write off" at a loss of at least $ 60 million. According to pessimistic estimates, the studio could lose up to $ 100 million due to the failure of "Ghost in the Shell" at the global box office.

The movie studio planned to build an entire franchise based on the manga, but the results of the first movie's distribution may cast doubt on the adequacy plans for its further development. A painting needs at least $ 300 million to pay off.
