AN UNHOLY UNION
Budget: $18,000,000
Total Box Office: $37,350,012
Total Profit: $790,000
An Unholy Union managed to land on the right side of the ledger, but only barely. Its $790,000 profit leaves the horror-thriller about as close to a true break-even result as a film can get, though that tiny victory carries considerably more significance for the writer behind it.
BOX OFFICE FACT
An Unholy Union is the first film from writer Rachel Hallett Hardcastle since Season 20's That Was Then, This Is Now to avoid a loss, ending a streak of seven consecutive box office flops.

KILL BIN LADEN
Budget: $50,000,000
Total Box Office: $56,735,938
Total Profit: -$29,221,700
The political thriller failed to translate its provocative subject matter into enough theatrical interest to justify its cost. The result is especially notable because it continues a surprisingly consistent pattern for writer Alex Conn's recent films centered on real-world political figures.
BOX OFFICE FACT
Writer Alex Conn has now penned four recent films built around real-life political figures — Repeal and Replace, Dean, Mises, and Kill Bin Laden. All four lost substantial amounts of money, combining for more than $131 million in losses, or roughly $32 million per film.

ILVERMORNY: THE HIDDEN SCHOOL
Budget: $105,000,000
Total Box Office: $260,440,506
Total Profit: $30,044,424
LRF's second trip into the Wizarding World remained profitable, but the numbers suggest considerably less enthusiasm than greeted the franchise's debut. Ilvermorny: The Hidden School still earned enough to justify its investment, though its performance raises some questions about how much room the series has to expand beyond its initial success.
BOX OFFICE FACT
LRF's Wizarding World took a significant step backward with its second entry. Ilvermorny: The Hidden School suffered a 24% decline in worldwide box office compared with The House of Black — and an even steeper 70% drop in profit.

Season 36 Round 9 Total Box Office:
$354,526,456
Season 36 Round 9 Total Profit:
$1,612,724
Round 9 finished about as close to neutral as possible. Ilvermorny: The Hidden School supplied just over $30 million in profit, only for nearly all of it to be erased by Kill Bin Laden. An Unholy Union's $790,000 contribution ultimately kept the round from slipping into the red.
Season 36 Total Box Office:
$4,886,846,939
Season 36 Total Profit:
$855,945,264
With only Round 10 remaining, Season 36 enters its finale needing roughly $144 million in additional profit just to reach $1 billion. Even if it gets there, that would still leave the season in decidedly mediocre territory by LRF standards. The top of the slate has produced several major hits, but a deep collection of bombs and disappointments has prevented those successes from translating into a stronger overall financial year.
