Ang Lee’s Gemini Man isn’t faring too well at the box office. In fact, the latest industry reports suggest the movie will likely end up losing at least $75 million, if not much, more. Through Sunday night, Gemini Man has grossed just $118.7 million worldwide, still $121.3m or so away from the reported production budget (and advertising spend) of $240m. Fortunately enough for those involved, THR reports the loss will be spread out between four parties involved in the production of the film – producer David Ellison’s Skydance Media, Paramount Pictures, Fosun International, and Alibaba. Skydance and Paramount reportedly joined together to put up 70 percent of the film’s budget while fosun – the company responsible for distributing the movie in China – invested in a 25 percent stake. Alibaba was only responsible for the remaining 5 percent.

 

Gemini Man ended up panned by critics, resulting in a 25 percent Rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the worse Lee’s received for any film in his career.
