CloneWars Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I don't get this. I went onto BOM and according to it, Planes has a budget of $50M. This was supposed to be DTV. Where did the extra money go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure they didn't have Antonio Balderas and John Cleese when it was just DTV. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Time changed. Budget inflated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Time changed. Budget inflated. The budget probably went up because Disney tried to make the project look a little less straight to DVDish (from what I heard it didn’t work). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It is Disney. They spent 250m on TLR yet that shit still looks like DTV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It is Disney. They spent 250m on TLR yet that shit still looks like DTV. Really? From what I heard, the film doesn’t look bad; it’s just that the script sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Disney originally wanted $200M+, but one exec stepped up and said "guys, we gotta be responsible every once in a while. We'll have plenty of money to blow on 2015, lets spend $50M on Planes instead". Then another exac said "the last guy to propose that got fired."Disney went with it, but the exec was fired and is currently filing for wrongful termination in court.

kowhite Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) No straight to DVD Disney has a had budget as high as that (to my best knowledge).Tinkerbell cost more than Planes does, and it was DTV, and made solid profit.Then...all the sequels cost a lot less.The same will happen with Planes. The first film I believe is just absorbing some initial franchise costs which will pay off on the future films.I mean...if I had to guess...
