Personally, I think it will get a sequel. Critically, the movie reviewed very favorably, much more so than I expected it to, and much more so than Age of Ultron. The next Mad Max movie will do even better.
Actually, the break-even point entails a gross double that of the production budget and that which is spent on promoting the film.
Btw, Gambit's production budget is $155 million. The way Fox promotes their films, that thing will need to collect roughly $400 million before they can exhale. If they don't get it in theaters, they'll make it up in DVD and Blu-ray sales.
Gambit can be mitigated by successful box offices for Deadpool and Apocalypse.

I am not denying that it still makes money, the question is if the international box office is enough to bring that in. Comparing that to Age of Ultron which nearly made its prison budget in domestic box office is a bit off in this case. We aren't taking critical acclaim which is rarely a measuring stick for sequels, money is.

True, but Warner Bros. loves George Miller. They let him pick up Fury Road off and on, during which he directed other movies for the studio. I think they'll let him make The Wasteland. Hash-tag optimistic!
To clarify, the point about the international take was I am not sure how much the studio gets like how they get half of US box offices. I know in China, the studios basically get hosed unless the movie is made there which is why Iron Man 3 had its own Chinese version with its own sub-plot and including Fan Bing-Bing (of Blink fame in Days of Future Past) as well as Transformers 4 which was partially set in China.
ComingSoon, BleedingCool, CBR, IGN, they all get their news from the same source(s).
He's not completely out (yet). It may have something do with the contract he negotiated.
ComingSoon isn't so reliable, there's another very clickbait comic book movie news website that I can't recall but is even worse. The only reliable source I've seen is SlashFilms but their article looks like rumor editorial (similar to a Tumblr fancasting) based on some truth from the cited source and IGN who is known for mostly posting truthful stories. I am still taking this with a grain of salt until there is a credible source of it.
