Ben-Hur $100,000,000
Kubo $60,000,000
War Dogs $50,000,000

Huge budget for Ben-hur, has to rely on overseas audiences to get a profit.
Kubo and the Two Strings-That budget is normal for Laika.
War Dogs-also a pretty big budget for something that isn't a broad comedy.

There is no way in hell Ben Hur is making that back even with OS markets. GoE numbers at best for it.

Agreed on Kubo being the standard Laika budget but these movies don't seem to make much in OS markets so they might want to reduce budgets even further.

$50m seems really big for WD as well.

Oh my, Ben-Hur is fucked. Nobody is interested (almost literally).

Don't Breathe-10m
Hands of Stone-20m
Mechanic Resurrection- 40m

Don't Breathe-great. will double it's budget on opening weekend.
Hands of stone- that budget is fine.
Mechanic resurrection- it's the same as the original.

Hands of Stone is fucked. Doubt it makes that worldwide.

DB should do great and start making money for the makers after OW.

Decent for Hands of Stone but Weinstein have messed up its release.

MR should get the money from its OS total like the last one and I think this one can do a little bit better in OS markets with more action.

I'm surprised the Laika films cost that much.

Huh? That's cheap for CGI animated movie. They have good animation and that costs.

I am surprised that they still can make them, though. None of them has ever broken even stateside in theatres and their worldwide performances aren't great either. Must do terrific numbers in home video, I guess.

Morgan-8m
The Light Between Oceans-20m


Thats pretty good for Morgan, it's not going to be a huge profit maker but atleast the studio isn't losing money.
The Light Between Oceans has an average budget for these type of mid-range dramas. The problem is the bad release date and it currently has horrible reviews.

Why didn't they market Morgan more if it cost so little? I feel it could have been a big money maker if dealt properly. Now it'll just make a bit of money. Seems like studios only put their marketing weight behind $100m+ productions, which is just stupid as most of them sell themselves anyway.

The Light Between Oceans cost that much? I thought it would be cheap like less than $10m budget.

Good for Morgan, should make money for the studios.

Budgets for the last two weeks, if anyone cares.
Sully-60m
When the Bough breaks-10m
The Wild Life-13m
The Disappointments Room-15m
Bridget Jones Baby-35m
Snowden-40m
Blair Witch-5m



This weekend's releases:
The Magnificent Seven-90m
Storks-70m

Decent budgets all around. Nice to see none over $100m. The Magnificent Seven's $90m is astonishing. Usually A-list ensemble casts cost a lot more.

Nice to see the list. And all look to be sound investments.

Well I'm pretty sure they did end up losing money on it after all. Who would have thought it would bomb THIS badly.

Don't think Snowden will make money.

It probably already has. EndGame/Vendian pre-sold it to over 40 foreign markets back in May, and Open Road took the US.

Speaking of Vendian, they really are a production company to watch. They made Black Mass, Free State Of Jones, The Neon Demon, and Snowden, and will soon release Hacksaw Ridge and American Made (Tom Cruise-Doug Liman film). They are also producing Mann's Enzo Ferrari.

The production budgets are pretty substantial this week.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children- 110m
Deepwater Horizon- 156m

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children-this was originally a summer release, which explains the budget. I guess the film could have some legs in October because of the spooky nature. But its depending on overseas audiences to get a profit.

Deepwater Horizon-With a budget this huge, I feel like the studio should have put this in a better release date, it actually has good reviews. Just too close to Sully and Mag 7 and slow movie month.

How in God's name did Deepwater cost $156m? Wow. It will struggle to make a profit now because of that. It is the type of film that will be viewed by older people or a certain segment of the population, but never enough to warrant such a huge budget. It should have cost $40-$60m.

Absolutely insane budget for Deepwater Horizon. My God. I agree with Algren: it strikes me as a film which should have cost 50, maybe 60 million, allowing comfortably for Wahlberg's salary, the pyrotechnics, etc.

Jesus fucking Christ. I can't wrap my mind around that number. To me Deepwater Horizon was right in the vein of Ladder 49 and The Guardian which adjust to $104 million and $73 million respectively. Peter Berg's Lone Survivor cost $40 million. Fucking Hancock, a summer-released blockbuster with Will Smith in his prime cost $150 million.

And now he made a contained disaster flick that cost more than Jason Bourne, Jurassic World, The Martian or Ant-Man?!? It haven't checked, but it must be the most expensive film ever released in September. What the FUCK were they thinking at Lionsgate? It is their second-most expensive film ever, right behind Mockingjay Part II which capped a huge worldwide franchise.

Were they hoping for a $200+ million domestic performer? This is The Legend of Tarzan all over again. It will probably do well by itself, but will end up losing money because of the budget. I'd consider a $110-120 million total TERRIFIC for a film like this...but it should have not cost more than $70 million, let alone more than twice the number.

Lionsgate really doesn't know what the fuck their doing. First The Last Witch Hunter and now this. I heard rumors of the budget being that high back in March, but I didn't know if it was true or not because it's so ridiculous. Now that it's been confirmed I can safely say they are pretty much screwed on this one. Even the best case scenario which would be $120-$130M wouldn't be enough to completely save it with marketing cost/distribution and those numbers alone seem like a pipe dream if tracking is anything to go by and the heavy adult competition coming up.

Insanity. They would be very lucky to even break even worldwide.
