The only fortunate part for Warner Bros. is that they had a financial partner with RatPac-Dune Entertainment on Live By Night.
Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Ben Affleck and had every reason to believe that Live By Night would be a hit, given his track record as a director.
As of right now, Live By Night has only made $10 million domestically and a very measly $6 million internationally.
Live By Night had a reported budget of $65 million, which was before marketing and distribution costs.
