They're allowed to make movies NOT aimed at 16 year old boys.

It doesn't happen often, but it's not technically illegal yet.

You realize studios don't return 100% of a movie's box office, right?

not sure what you mean by that. that there's more to the actual cost than its productions? sure, figure it probably has to hit 100 mil to truly break even and that ain't happening. but that's a flop that did abysmally in theaters and still is managing to get that close. this movie has a similar budget but is probably better so i assume it should be fine hitting that.

Well yes, that's the other side of the coin. You either make a blockbuster aimed at teen boys, or a drama for adults that tries to earn Oscar nominations, because that's the only way you can get enough free publicity for your adult audience to hear about it and make plans to attend.

It's not any individual person's fault, I don't know what you're getting at there... The industry is this way because the women and adults in general who used to visit the theater a couple times a month to enjoy these dramas are now streaming shows on Netflix and Prime almost every night instead.

While that's true, there's also additional sources of revenue beyond theatrical release, which probably even out for a movie like Charlie's Angels. So no, that's not what I mean.

What I'm really getting at is that the theaters themselves return a significant share of theatrical revenues - typically, the studio takes home about 50% of a movie's domestic box office, 25% of its Chinese box office, and 40% of its box office everywhere else. Thus, a movie's box office will always need to double its production budget to break even, at the bare minimum.

I don't doubt it will be easy for Little Women to break even, but that's because it's relatively cheap and actually has an audience, not because its box office only needs to exceed its production budget to do so.
