150M budget. But why?

Because they thought Burton would deliver, like he did multiple times in the past.

 

In hindsight, it's easy to say that Fox shouldn't have spent 150m in the film, but I'm sure, at least initially, that Fox thought they had struck a great deal.

 

X-Men meets Harry Potter directed by Tim Burton. And it wouldn't be even that expensive (for a tentpole). Who wouldn't greenlight that?

I definitely wouldn't lol. Is this getting released on 3D?

[ddddeeee]

The book isn't really that big, I hope that budget isn't true.

 

Dumbo will make money I guess...

I would've greenlit the film with a 100M budget, max.  It should've cost like 80M.  Could've made a much better profit if it struck big overseas.

Spoiler

I think so

The Tim Burton of 2016 is not the Tim Burton who gave us "Ed Wood" and "Big Fish".

Frankly, Burton jumped the shark for me with "Alice In Wonderland".

I like what I see so far.

I highly doubt, but seriously hope, that Burton will someday top Big Fish.

150m budget? Lmao 

[Arlborn]

Feeling no hype at all for this, this is going to flop so hard, what a shame.

 

Gonna start reading the first book this week.

BoxOffice.com just upped their prediction to a 90M finish.  They wouldn't have done that if there was no hype.  Starting to think this could pull a Maze Runner.

Production Budget: Estimated at $70 million to $80 million
Box Office Potential: $65 million
 

65m dom sounds about right to me, sadly. Hopefully it can do some solid numbers OS.

[WrathOfHan]

25/70

[That One Girl]

25/88 for me right now.  This will probably have some solid legs.  Could hit 90M provided hype builds up.
