But it certainly looks like Warners took a big loss on Watchmen. When it was released, industry analysts figured that it needed to make over $200 million domestically to be considered a success, due to its estimated $130 million budget (plus marketing costs). It only made about half that. Also recall the legal mess surrounding the film -- Paramount ended up with foreign distribution rights and Fox received as much as 8.5% of the gross. It wasn't a huge seller on DVD either.
