Movie Budgets Are Out Of Control!

Показать описание

In an effort to entice moviegoers to see a new film, Hollywood studios have decided to pour tons of money into a movie's production costs. Films like Fast & the Furious, that used to have a meager budget have now ballooned to over $300 million dollars to make. Indiana Jones, Mission: Impossible and new Pixar films are having the same issue. This makes a return on investment incredible hard or outright impossible. Studios need to calm down on their budgets and bring down the runtime and the scale. We will all be better for it!

For the purposes of contrast, go watch The Raid 2 (2014). That movie only cost $4.5 million to make at that time. Crazy!

After hearing you speak about this, I really think advertising is the area they need to cut their budget the most. Find creative ways to advertise that won’t cost as much money, because the actors, directors and writers, and everyone involved need to make their fair share.

29:56 I actually just saw John Carter for the first time yesterday and quite enjoyed it! If you look at the story of why it failed there's actually a lot going on, here's the Cliff Notes:
1) It is based on a book from 1912 that is largely credited for being the inspiration behind Star Wars, Avatar (the blue one) and other sci-fi works, but since it came after, the general public saw it as the rip-off, which discredited it.
2) The book was called "A Princess of Mars" and the original title for the movie was "John Carter of Mars". Marketing ditched the words "princess" and "mars" because research said those deterred men and women, respectively. So they ended up with the name "John Carter" which is horribly generic, told you nothing about the movie, and confused book fans.
3) The marketing exec at was new to the position and wanted to do his own thing, despite others telling him otherwise.
4) Disney was in the middle of acquiring Star Wars/Lucasfilm so they now had little incentive to market a competing space saga.
5) It didn't really have any big names attached so casual audiences didn't care.

I thought i was the only one hoping for a Barbie three-way situation...🤔😉

Turning Red is a bad example because it never actually hit theaters. The $7 mil is from approximate subscriptions added and limited Amazon Prime purchases.

Fun fact - raiders of the lost ark cost 20 million dollars. Adjusted for inflation, that's 66 million in 2023. So maybe you can make an indiana jones film under 100 million dollars today.

I need someone to explain The Marvels budget reportedly costing 500 million! Including marketing.. make it make sense

I may be the unpopular opinion but I think main actors salary are way too overblown. For Barbie, Margot's Robbie and Ryan Gosselin salaries alone is 25 millions, and if you add will Farrell, it is a combined 35 millions, that alone is more than the whole budget of some very decent movies.

I was also very disappointed in the lack of profitability for Mission Impossible 7. I very much enjoyed the film, so seeing it lose money kinda sucks.

It appears the Little Mermaid just broke even, the run time probably hurt that movie. Little Mermaid made 561 Million on a 250 Million budget which is not impressive. If the studio would shaved a half hour off this movie it could have made 700 Million easy. The budget would not have been so high. The Liam Neeson franchise "Taken" only cost 30 to 40 Million a film but grossed a total of 900 Million combined.

Also longer movies cost more to make! (duh) We need to go back to short and sweet.

Because People in Hollywood like to laundry money. That's why you say to yourself when watching some movies....Where did the budget go?

I can't believe that many people saw Avatar 2.

I think most of Iron Man 3's budget went into the director's and RDJ's pockets.

I think Luca and Turning Red only got released theatrically to International markets that didn't have Disney+. No domestic release in theaters at all from what I remember.
