its fine due to overseas alone.

Over 200m makes sense, IM2 was already at it. 20m extra for this movie isn't bad at all, but it's by no means a good budget either. Which is irrelevant since the movie at bare minimum will make 700m+ WW.

Its already at 280 million overseas, the question is 1 billion or not.

yeah, bare minimum 900m+, you're right.

It depends how it holds, but usually when a film explodes overseas it usually stays around for some time.

I think by being around 400 million by Sunday it should for certain cross 600 million and likley based on the domestic gross should cross a billion.

Its a decent number given the big cast and the action scenes in it could have done it below $190m. Regardless given the OS numbers it will be a huge success.

A lot of money went for paychecks there. TA is a sequel and I'm sure all leads got a nice salary bump for reprising their roles. Good budget when you tako into account you have a lot of lead characters.

Marvel does one thing well. Everytime they sign someone they make it a multi-movie contract so they can save cash on salary.

Many actors and actresses are signed for 3 or more movies.

They can sign on for multiple movies but the salary bump always happens for a sequel. I think it's partly regulated by guild.

Post subject:  Re: Production Budgets
But I'm sure that the bump is much smaller then when they have a new deal for each movie.

Post subject:  Re: Production Budgets
Probably. But I still think it's a hefty sum overall, because guilds pretty much ensure that nearly every returning cast/crew member gets a rise I think. That's why TV productions get overly expensive over years.

"close to" $150m DARK SHADOWS

Looks like Charlie/Alice type of movie so an expected budget IMHO.

Post subject:  Re: Production Budgets
Saw the movie yesterday and it looked expensive. $150m still seems a little too high IMO, I thought $120m would have been a good budget, then again Depp's and Burton's fat checks could have easily been the cause.

Hmmmm, both Variety & THR report a $100m budget for DS, LAT "close to" $150m...

Probably after and before tax cuts.

100m would be a very good budget considering the talent, 150s too high for this limited a film. I have no idea how this'll do OS.

With CGI as shitty as the films got I imagine most of that was in paychecks.

Prometheus: $120-130m
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ridley-scott-prometheus-alien-324981

A lot more reasonable than the $250m that was being thrown around earlier.

Good to hear, even though it looks much more expensive...

Post subject:  Re: Production Budgets
I still don't get how they need $120-$130m for an Alien type movie when Alien is still a good looking movie that was made on what would be a $40m budget nowadays.

Alien did not have huge CGI action scenes.

Isn't CGI supposed to be cheaper than practical effects anyway?

Dude, you're comparing a small '70s horror movie by a young director to a 2012 summer tentpole release. It's so apples and oranges, even if there's an amorphous franchise connection.
