After Neon shepherded multihyphenate Bong Joon Ho‘s Parasite to multiple Oscar wins, including Best Picture, Warner Bros. decided to take a big swing on his next outing at a higher budget level. Unfortunately for stakeholders, the result isn’t going to cut it profit-wise, given the original sci-fi film’s $118M cost (not counting P&A).

That’s the conventional P&L outlook from the studio perspective, anyway. But there are plenty of factors that are frustrating those at Warners who are shepherding the film as well as those who produced it.
