Expend4ables (lost money)
Meg 2: The Trench 395 million box office (made money)
Fast X 704 million box office (made money)
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (lost money)

Probably because Fast X actually lost money, 146 million no less according to that 2.5x rule. May be even more considering China was one of its main markets, and US studios only get 25% of BO revenues from there.

You need to add marketing, distribution on top of production budgets, and bear in mind that studios in average get less than 50% of BO revenues.

So, yeah, I'd say over 300 million in losses is pretty accurate.
