Its somewhat a disaster film. Budget seems low, which is looks from the trailers IMO.

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

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

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.

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

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. :(

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.

$250m combined budget per Deadline so.....$500m roughly to break even.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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....

Well, I guess Weta Digital are just better than ScanlineVFX.

Moving on to what? This entire thread is about budget discussion.
