 Re: Production Budgets Brilliant again for DM3, there is just no reason for them to stop making these with that kind of budget. It will be (one of) the most profitable movie of the year again.
Good for Baby Driver as well, it doesn't necessarily look expensive but that is a good budget given Wright's past projects didn't light up the BO on fire.
Decent for TH as well, I believe this is now the new standard for comedy movies and Ferrell's Get Hard also had the same budget.

Re: Production Budgets Crazy how they keep making them so cheap. Apparently it is to do with production being in France. But even still, remarkable cost management.

Re: Production Budgets DM3 might spend more on marketing than on production, but in all this is just an amazing cash cow franchise for the studio.
BD and the House are indeed normal budgets for those type of films.

Re: Production Budgets LAT:
$175m SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
One has to ask how much money went to Robert Downey Jr...

Re: Production Budgets I expected something closer to $150M, but that budget isn't too bad either. Also, it's important to remember that this is the cheapest Spider-Man film since Spider-Man 2 and that's definitely a good thing considering how crazy the budgets were for Spider-Man 3, TASM and TASM 2. Downey no doubt got a nice sized payckeck including a juicy backend deal, but it also looks like Marvel did a great job controlling the budget too.

Re: Production Budgets More inline with the regular blockbuster but it definitely looks and feels cheaper than the previous Spidey movies.
I don't think Marvel did much to control budget. It looks like this was shot somewhere mid-way with Civil War so that could have helped a bit. Plus I do believe the scope for this one being smaller helps. Also Marisa Tomei and Tom Holland won't be asking for huge paychecks as of now.

Re: Production Budgets And special effects get cheaper too, I don't think for one bit this is going to look cheaper than any of the previous Spidermans. It just seems to be Marveled up and that might not be a bad thing.

Re: Production Budgets It doesn't look cheap to me at all. I can totally see where the $175m went.

Re: Production Budgets CBO (French)
€197.47m VALERIAN
With today's exchange rate that's $229m - but it was filmed last year so we're talking about $213m... (the Dollar lost some of its strength in the last couple of months...)

Re: Production Budgets To be fair, it looks like the budget is on screen. But why would anyone give that budget to a movie like this, especially with no A-list lead?

Re: Production Budgets SolC9 wrote: To be fair, it looks like the budget is on screen. But why would anyone give that budget to a movie like this, especially with no A-list lead? Maybe because director Besson has a built-in reputation with investors to finance his expensive pitches. https://www.wired.com/2017/07/luc-besson-valerian/Quote: Besson shot The Fifth Element in England after the studio he was working with couldn’t cut a financing deal in France. The movie made $264 million worldwide, yet French studio Gaumont still balked at one of Besson’s next pitches. So he started his own production company and made Taxi, a minor franchise-starter.
That gave Besson the money to start EuropaCorp, essentially his own studio. Even as he was fending off accusations of getting sweetheart deals from the French government to build Cité du Cinéma, he was writing and producing (though not directing) lucrative television and movie franchises like Taken and Transporter. The fact is, Besson has a very particular set of skills, and they include the production of low-dialog, high-intensity-action international hits. He has a reputation for on-time, on-budget delivery, and that has allowed him to maintain decades-long relationships with distributors—and their money—all over the world. EuropaCorp distributes its own movies in France, has a distribution deal with STX for the US, and works with a crowd of international distributors on foreign-sales financing.
In 2015, Besson and Besson-Silla went to Cannes with a presentation for about 70 foreign distributors, most of whom Besson knew. “We came with 80 drawings on the big screen. We showed all the designs. I told the entire story, and they could read the script and make an offer,” Besson says. “We sold almost $80 million of presale in a day.” Eventually they sold the pitch to distributors in more than 100 countries.
It may be a huge, tentpole-scale movie, but it’s financed like an indie. All the deals, the presales and tax benefits and so on, mean that Besson is only exposed to a fraction of the risk. And he didn’t have to pitch an expensive science fiction movie with largely unknown source material to a conservative, franchise-drunk studio.

Re: Production Budgets Boy that Valerian numbers, maybe China will save it.
Dunkirk sure doesn't look cheap though it will need OS money to break even theatrically.
Standard for Girls Trip

Re: Production Budgets Girls Trip should be very profitable. The other two openers this week are extreme risks.

Re: Production Budgets Eh Dunkirk will make back its budget based on Nolan's name specially its OS numbers should be good enough to be profitable.

Re: Production Budgets I don't think either film looks good and are unsure of their BO potential, but those aren't high budgets and should turn out to be good investments for the studios.
