No.

Uhm yes.
Spielberg and several other directors have explained this in full in various interviews, which you can find online.
Production cost of movie
Marketing domestic and international
Cut off each ticket that goes to the theatre that shows the movie
Various other costs
Add all of the above up, and you need to make 4 to 5 times the production cost to break even.
Super bowl trailer spots in commercial break went as much as 30 million dollars.
