[WrathOfHan]

Wait, the budget is really 150M? Someone needs to whack Lionsgate in the head

Hilarious. RIP Lionsgate. Might happen sooner than my estimated 10 years.

I think the money will show up on screen but it will be hard to be profitable

They are throwing their Hunger Games money down the drain.

[Blankments]

This looks really terrible to me

[The Futurist]

Man, what kind of bromance we are living with these berg guys anyway ?

[Jandrew]

Just watched the trailer and wow, this looks pretty damn good.

Louisiana Tax credit for films is up to 30%.  If it's 30% off the estimate $118m spent there that's a $35m rebate. 

 

Still $121m ($156m-35m)  for this film feels like at least $40m too much.  Lionsgate though probably pre sold  extensively to foreign territories.

Behind the scenes video. The set is impressive.

Wtf at the budget. 

 

So, will the reported Mojo budget be the 156 number or the 121?

I'm sure they'll say either 150 or 156. They never take tax credits into account or do the research to find out whether any are applicable (and to be fair, that's a huge hassle and not easily found, for the most part).

They do otherwise GB wouldn't be listed at $144m.  But mostly they just list the number the studio gives out (and they always give post tax credit) and if the studio doesn't they'll list whatever number they can find in an article etc.

Lionsgate will give 120M then. Still insane.

[junkshop36]

Looks like they spent every penny of that 150m though. 

 

I live about 40 minutes from Baton Rouge. I remember hearing about them building that giant set for filming. Never saw it in person but it looks pretty epic in that video. 

 

 

[marveldcfox]

Still 150 is excessive. Even 100 is!! I like Peter Berg, but his movies always go over budget.

[Krissykins]

I watched this trailer yesterday and I don't think it looks that expensive.

 

Well it'll be very difficult for this to be considered a success unless it makes $300m+  worldwide.

[MCKillswitch123]

YIKES at that budget. WTF was Lionsgate thinking?!

 

Ugh. Here's hoping that the movie does well. The Deepwater Horizon tragedy is recent and culturally impactful enough that I think audiences, both American and OS, will show up. Maybe it'll be another Everest type movie that way, way overperforms in the WW market.
