I mean, this one at least makes sense though, Leto was one of the main producers of the film. It's like when Ryan Reynolds worked to get Deadpool made and cast himself as Deadpool. It's not like a casting director actually thought Leto would be good for the role.
-
Why did he need to be cast in Tron
-
Because he was a Producer for the movie. (ie, he paid to be in it)
-
That makes sense.

It had two nice movies and no one had ruined it yet. Someone in a suit couldn’t resist.
-
-
he was OK in fight club
-
I thought he was perfectly cast in Blade Runner 2049 as a creepy weirdo rich dude with no accountability whatsoever.
-
He spent his whole life method acting for that role
-
Wow so he's play as himself.
-
I lol'd thanks
-
He just showed up on set one day and stabbed a woman, so they decided to use the footage and wrote the character around it.

TIL the "pretty face" was Leto

I'm in the, 'I'll still watch it for the soundtrack'. camp.
It's technically selling out, but I prefer to see it as Trent Reznor pulling one over on Disney.

i actually really liked him in house of gucci, but that’s literally the only performance of his that’s stood out to me.
-
I thought he was really good in Mr. Nobody.
IRL dick, though. To put it mildly.

Let’s not leave out that he abuses his co-stars for the sake of “method acting”.

mmmmmmMMMMMONEYYYYYYYyyyyyy!:D

He's such a gross loser.
The thing is they dont "bomb" they create revenue stream and they even make a profit most of the time.
Morbius had a cost of $75–83 million and a Box Office return of $167.5 million
Most of the other recent ones also turned a profit
Of course there are some break evens or minor flops, but they dont care about that, they just want volume. Quantity over quality is what makes for large salaries for bosses.
A big thing you aren't including in those production costs is marketing, which is a huge part of a film's budget that always gets conveniently left out of these calculations because Hollywood doesn't include marketing costs as part of production...for some reason.
A good rule of thumb is that most studios spend an additional amount roughly equal to 50% of what the film cost to make on marketing. So the total Morbius costed Sony is likely closer to 112m-124m. Still profitable, but quite a thin margin. For Tron:Ares, it'll need to clear ~270m to actually make money. Since most of these studios treat these films like investments, that's p bad RoI.
On the other hand they inflate the cost, by "renting" equipment to themselves, so who the fuck knows what's going on... I would be more concerned with the opportunity costs. Breaking even or even a reasonable profit is just not enought for those gluttonous monsters.
Right, but isn't there literally a saying about how fucked up the 'accounting' is for movies? Something along the lines of "hollywood accounting"...
I wouldn't trust the 'profits' or 'costs' of any of those movies as far as I could throw them.
it is p bad
