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?

Presumably there's a fair amount of additional costs involved in marketing and distribution that aren't accounted for in the production figures and this ends up being a good baseline for a fuller accounting based on industry trends.
