Post Re: Production Budgets
Aaron Sorkin appeared on the The Rewatchables podcast and he had an interesting tidbit on production budgets (30 min mark). I'm paraphrasing...



There is no net with respect to whatever percent of the net you're promised. Studios will often charge to your movie development funds spent on movies they didn't make. Not to mention marketing/prints. A Few Good Men cost $41m to make, made over $500m (including rentals) but hasn't shown a profit.



He recounts how Bill Goldman, writer for (the profitable) All the Presidents Men, told a story about how each year after the film's release, Warner Bros writes him a letter stating how the movie hasn't realized a profit. The 14th year, he gets a very small check, the 15th year, the movie somehow goes back into the red!

Expensive for a horror film, but cheap for a blockbuster.

LMAO at Goldfinch. The trailer for that movie is so annoying and pretentious and now the reviews are bad too. Bombs away.

All because they wanted to hire big name actors, and it's still going to drop $100m+ domestically.

Goldfinch should have been a Netflix mini-series.

Who the fuck gave The Goldfinch a 45 million budget. Even Annapurna wouldn't do that

Netflix probably would have paid much more than that 45 million too!

That's a decent budget for Abominable though the trailers make it look very cheap. Unfortunately with the estimated low OW in US I don't see it making a profit. Given that it has a Chinese setting maybe it can break out in China to make back money though but I feel doubtful about that.

Great budget, but it should also tell us that it should be less of a comic book film as we've gotten to know them.

It's a drama movie with no superhero action spectacle. Only features late night riot scenes which have been done cheaper.

That's a decent budget for Zombieland 2 although I'm sure the backend deals were through the roof.
