Sure sure sure.. The CAST for the film alone cost $80mill at least. Not to mention the release thru the Universal system and guaranteed cable income from the OWNER which is Comcast...
When you have the ACTUAL production costs, come back and whine some more will ya??? And while you're at it -- make sure the Chi-Coms aren't the big backers of this thing.. Could BE --- they just might be trying "to influence an election".... Or cause actual civil conflict..
Lawdy knows, they're backing and stacking a HUGE number of Hollywood turdish movies in the past couple years...
The film's budget is $18.2 million, genius.
That's an estimate and does not include the advertising and distribution and major royalties that will be incurred on a nation theatre release.. Big suits at Universal need their lobster....
It's the production budget. Ya know, how much it actually cost to film. Seeing as how the movie doesn't release for another month, you are making estimations out of thin air, again. Low budget movies barely recoup their production budgets. Most movies made on an $18 million budget ain't getting near $80 million. It likely won't even make $40 million, seeing as it's got a plot that's already been done to death with B list actors. Do you ever know what you're talking about?
Well, considering you're trying to tell us that a budget = actual cost, it's clear someone doesn't know what they're talking about.
Another retard. In this case, budget=cost of the film. Can you figure that out now? Want me to draw it in crayon for you?
Actually, budget equals what they ESTIMATE it will cost to make the film. Actual cost is what the film ended up being, and there are many times that films will run over budget.
