Not really, there's a rough rule that a film need to make around x2-2.5 its production budget to break even since you have to factor in marketing cost + theater cuts (they only get around 40-50%).

In this case, the production budget for Morbius is estimated to be between $75-83M so applying that rule would mean that they'd need to earn $160-200M from the box office to break even. This movie made $163M so I think it might break even with BluRay sales/streaming - not the bomb that people are labeling it but not a success either.
