The average movie budget in 2020 was $35 million, which means that the average profit margin for a movie was -27.5%. This means that for every dollar spent on a movie, only 72.5 cents was returned in revenue.
However, it is important to note that these figures are based on a small sample size. In 2020, only 2,564 movies were released, which is a significant decrease from the 4,478 movies released in 2019. This means that the average movie may not be representative of all movies released.
