Fake Reviews from Top Critics $212,497,272 Worldwide

But China won't do miracles - AC doesn't have the same pull of Warcraft, there, and its releasing after a year in which the world has been literally flooded with american Action/Sci-Fi/Superhero movies.

Also, no, even by doubling its budget it will not break even: while it's true that studios usualy get more or less 55% of the worldwide gross, with higher percentages on the domestic market and lower in the foreign ones (in China, for example, studios get just about 25%-30%), this doesn't account for the marketing campaign and distribution costs - which, as a rule of thumb for a movie with this budget - usually amount to 75% to 100% of the production budget.

If, in the best possible scenario, assuming AC still has 100 mil to gross (which most likely it does'nt have) and with a very conservative esteem of 50 mil for marketing and distribution (which may, actually, be worth twice as much), the tickets won't cover the cost. Home video sales and merchandising, obviously, will - but with the MCU, the recently launched DCEU and freaking Star Wars all being in full swing on, pretty much, the same target costumers, this is gonna be a tough year to compete in the merchandising market.

Bottom line: the AC franchise has a, somewhat, established fanbase and sequels and shared universes are all the rage these days so, yeah, they may consider doing another one - but, most likely, they won't, not with these numbers.

P.S.
I felt the critic reaction was, if anything, a bit light-hearted: I don't really care for critics who got a couple of scenes wrong - the movie really is that terrible. It's boring, it wastes a number of a chances (including some good acting performances), the editing is atrocious and, when not engaged in action sequences, the directing is boring, flat or by the book, at the best. I'm actually having an hard time rating it - after this year of oh, so terrible flicks - but I'm leaning somewhere between 3 and 4.
