A Breakdown of $200+ Million Budgets

I'm suspect they also took the millions used for the failed superman projects in the final budget number.
Still it makes you wonder whether alot of those movies will even make profits given the enormous budgets.

I mean officially Kong cost 207 million and now it's 250 million.
Even for single budget films , ifind those numbers to be extraordinary high !

 

Awsome article, but yea the numbers seem a little high.

 

Strange numbers.

As I know, Kong officially had $207m budget and SR have $185m budget.

Dont believe it.

 

Well, studio's could give out lower numbers in order to look like they made a profit. I mean, it's possible.

 

Probably.

 

Anyone else in AWE at Spider-Man 3's budget!?!?!?!?!?

 

Man, Spider-Man better have those mofos pummelling the hell out of each other, showcasing every extent of their powers, AND coming out of the screen to ask if I want a beverage and deliver to me in one fell swoop for that budget.

Nothing angers me more than a movie with a large budget that has no eye candy whatsoever. What did you spend it on, catering?

 

MI3 had some excellent catering. I saw a show on it on the Food Network, lol.

 

i agree, the budget forspiderman 1, leaves you wondering where the hell did all the money go?!

 

S-M3 will last 30 seconds.

The first 28 seconds for the studio logos (Columbia, Marvel...)

The last two seconds will consist of the words "SUCKERS!" flashing on screen, as Sam Raimi heads for the airport with four suitcases full of cash.

 

probably the bridge and warehouse scene.

 

lol.

 

Raimi - "I'll teach them to write off The Gift as a typical horror flick. I got Katie Holmes to strip down for Christ's sake!"

 

lol. Keep them coming,lol.

 

Spider-Man supposedly cost $139m, and looks like it cost no more than $80m.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen supposedly cost $78m, and looks like it cost $150m+.

 

Well you've got to add the marketing cost and all that stuff, but since that's kinda like an additional cost (you don't see that on the screen), they didn't added those numbers.

 

People will still pay to come back and see it again

 

lol... Atleast their loyal.

 

I know the official number for both Spider-Man 2 and Titanic was $200 million but they cost more than that.

Anyway, they're probabilly just including the estimated marketing costs on that article to make the numbers look bigger.

 

The SM3 number is awe inspiring and scary.

I'd laugh so hard if it said SUCKAS and showed Sam Raimi and cast and crew getting on a private jet flicking us off then boom the end.

I would then pay again to see that brillance and knowing SM fans they would defend it is as brilliant.

But then a year later would call it a raping of their childhood after freeze framing all 35 seconds of it frame by frame on their $30 DVDs then.

 

and the times square scene.

 

that wasnt even real! all of that was on set.

 

that's cause League was shot in a foreign country where a US money went a much longer way.

Spiderman...was mostly filmed in US...higher shooting costs. That's why most big blockbusters don't really shoot in America much.

If Superman returns was shot in America...it's budget would have probably be doubled

 

Yes...and we all know Sets cost no money to make.... along with the hundreds of extras they had the pay....of course.....that's all cheap
