Is it set to actually lose $132M, or just "lose" it in the tradition of Hollywood accounting?

Isn't the rule of thumb for Hollywood that you have to make at least 3x the cost of production in box office sales to break even?

Production doesn't include advertising or distribution. Advertising can often equal production costs. And box office revenue gets distributed to several groups, not just going to the people who own the movie.
