The YouTube embed in this article is incorrect and shows the iPhone 12 vs 11. The iPhone 12 mini video can be found at: https://youtu.be/90JIZCYa6Q4
Edit: The 12 mini video is now showing as private. Guess we'll have to wait a couple more weeks after all.

Those are some profitable fumes.

I've been trying to figure out for a long time whether such numbers represent ticket sales or profit. A significant portion of ticket sales ends up in the hands of theatres. If I told you how much you probably wouldn't believe me, so I won't say how much. But do these numbers represent before or after theatres take their cut?

Yeah, those are ticket sales, and a significant portion does go to the theaters, but the theaters don't get any of the sales, rentals, licensing to other distributors, or merchandise. I've always assumed that if the movie grossed more in the theaters than it cost to make that it's probably a fair bet that it's a net positive overall.
