Friday the 13th Financials • First we will analyze the Friday the 13th series by individual film as well as the franchise. • We will call out each films estimated budget • What each film made at the US box office • This will account for total domestic gross • This will not include foreign gross or home video • Then we will show what the gross profit was after taking out the budget of the film
