Deadline: ‘Yesterday’ Net Profit Statement Shows It’s The Same Old Song On Hollywood Accounting

[Tek]

The Universal/Working Title film, which grossed over $153.7M worldwide, did well enough to make it onto a list of Deadline’s 2019 outliers, smaller films with outsized profits, in our recent movie revenue tournament, estimated to earn $45M in net profit. It’s a different story, however, when it comes to collecting net points on films like these.

Deadline was slipped a net profit participant sheet on Yesterday, and according to that document, the Beatles-themed romance movie is still in the red by as much as $88 million.

It’s hard to lay hands on these net profit documents. Deadline previously shook up the town ten years ago with its report that the 2007 Warner Bros movie Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix , despite grossing $942 million-plus worldwide, showed that the participant of that sequel was losing money to the tune of $167.3 million.
