Let's throw out some hypothetical numbers.

Perhaps people's estimations were too high

Did you not expect it to reach 1 billion?//

Les Miserables and Django Unchained are medium sized movies.

How much does AUJ need to gross for in order for WB to make a profit?

Only about half (roughly) of the box office goes to studios.
