Re: Production Budgets
That is high for HH as well as AWIT but for the later Disney has money to throw away.

Re: Production Budgets
I would have expected more for A Wrinkle in Time. It may not be a flop after all.

Re: Production Budgets
With that budget AWIT should definitely not flop unless it goes sub $80M domestic. That budget for HT is hilarious though because the trailers make it look super cheap, especially the quality of the CGI.

Re: Production Budgets
AWIT needs about $350m WW which would be a challenge even with $80m domestic.

Re: Production Budgets
AWIT spent a lot on marketing ostensibly. Probably $200m total. Or close to it. Will need $400m in boxoffice and ancillaries to get out of the red. Not a good start for Ava D.

Re: Production Budgets
Yeah, maybe they shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it being "the first mega budget movie directed by a woman of colour, ever!!"
Ava is definitely going back to documentaries and TV work (probably a 'Big Little Lies' type thing where it's a "prestige" TV show) after this.

Re: Production Budgets
$250m combined budget per Deadline so.....$500m roughly to break even. http://deadline.com/2018/03/a-wrinkle-i ... 202324260/The shoving of diversity down our throats was indeed annoying...and I'm a minority saying this. Ironically, it was the relative lack of diversity which made BP so appealing for me. I had never seen a big budget film like it.

Re: Production Budgets
I saw a report that said 400m to break even. It won't get there either but whatever.

Re: Production Budgets
With $250m combined budget I highly doubt $500m would be enough for AWIT but Disney can take it easily though their track record in generating new live-action franchises isn't very good.

Re: Production Budgets
Tomb Raider has the kind of budget that goes along with this type of film, for a film that has potential of $300m WW not expensive. But I expect it to fall somewhere between 200-250 WW, mainly because of a poor return domestically and turning this into another game adaption misfire.
$17m for Love, Simon I would have said is expensive, especially because I feel it has limited OS appeal. But the film seems to have a bit of hype domestically and should have no problem earning a profit after all.

Re: Production Budgets
After Assassin's Creed, Warcraft and now Tomb Raider all bombing Hollywood isn't going to touch video game adaptations for a long time. They just don't work. People don't take them seriously. The only one that could have worked is Halo with a gritty R rated direction but that project fell through and likely won't get revisited.

Re: Production Budgets
In theory, $90m shouldn't be too high for Tomb Raider, but it just feels huge. Add marketing into that and it's got to be upwards of $140m. It's going to need over $300m to not be an embarrassment. Thankfully, China exists.

Re: Production Budgets
Yeah same as others, while the budget for this sort of movie shouldn't be too high, Tomb Raider looks cheap; even while you watch it, it doesn't look like a $90m production; I do hope it gets a leggy run because I enjoyed the movie but it is doomed to fail domestically.
Expected for Love, Simon and should be profitable enough.

Re: Production Budgets
$90m is cheap these days. It's 2018, not 1988. So it probably looks like what it cost.

Re: Production Budgets
I guess its true and there are couple of scenes that are shot UK(Croft mansion), NY and then Asian location (which I am forgetting now) so I guess with a blockbuster-lite treatment $90m is justified but most movie is on sets and they felt cheap to me.

Re: Production Budgets
Yeah. No way to get around that, unfortunately. Sets, green screens, visual effects etc. will always look fake, but it's so good at keeping costs down. I think Warner Bros. knew this property had limited potential (in terms of blockbusters), so they tried to keep the budget under $100m. And it still has potential to do well. Its success is just not guaranteed, so they were cautious.

Re: Production Budgets
I am always impressed with Weta Digital and they always have conservative budgets with HUGE scope. Though I guess motion capture is much more different than adventure movies like Tomb Raider.
Anyways moving on....

Re: Production Budgets
Well, I guess Weta Digital are just better than ScanlineVFX.
Moving on to what? This entire thread is about budget discussion.
