Not really. If you include the costs of marketing and distribution, a film needs to gross about twice its "budget" to break even. Furthermore, this rule of thumb only applies to US gross, where studios get much more of the actual ticket price (75% iirc) than overseas. In some markets, India for example, American studios get about 15% of the actual ticket-price gross.
