SATURDAY AM UPDATE: The last-minute push for The Marvels with an appearance by star Brie Larson on The Tonight Show and at a theater in NYC post-actors strike have not moved weekend grosses any hig…
How did they manage to spend that much lol. The whole LOTR trilogy cost $300m and even adjusting for 25 years of inflation I don’t think that price makes any sense.
450 million dollar spread over 10,5 hours of film. That’s about 64 million dollar per regular film length (90 mins), which is a very tight budget for a filmof that size in a complex universe like that.
Way more than 10.5 hours. The full extended edition is 12 hours long, and in the commentary PJ kept hinting at an even longer 25th anniversary edition where they’ll add in even more deleted scenes.
The $274 million are only production cost including reshoots, which happen because Marvel keeps rewriting the script once filming and sometimes even pospro has begun. It’s closer to $550 million, once you add marketing cost, so it needs to make half a billion to break even.
Isn’t $47 million dollars for one weekend pretty good? What did they spend to make the movie?
Apparently it cost $274 million.

Trying to mask boring characters and stories with expensive CGI, compensating lack of fan enthusiasm and word of mouth with big marketing campaigns.
Adjusted for inflation, the budget for the trilogy would be around $450 million, which still doesn’t seem to bad considering the scale of it.

M$/film is a weird metric, but it works.

I think it helped that none of the cast were huge stars at the time.

That’s insane.
Everything costs over 100M these days and usually much, much more. I heard someone say The Marvels was $250M
274.8 million. the 4th highest marvel budget LOL
Fucking, wow.
