I've always assumed country/state/city gave subsidies and tax breaks to movie productions because those productions bring in lots of money (local jobs, hotel rooms, food, supplies, tourism, etc.). Is that not the case?
They tend to, but some are better at it than others. But currently the United Kingdom can't provide dental care to its citizens because the NHS can't afford to pay dentist's enough.
If I was a taxpayer and citizen there I would have to pause a moment to wonder if that $50 Million subsidy to the Walt Disney Company might not have been put to better use employing 100 new dentists and clearing the long backlog of people waiting for dental care from the NHS.
The problems of socialized medicine and the troubled state of UK dental care aside, The Marvels will still need roughly $600 Million at the global box office to break even. And something higher than $600 Million to, dare we dream it, make a profit.
