Really? the movie looked like it was made with no more than 150m.  Looks like the cast mas expensive indeed.

 

Yeh, over $40m from the Ghostbusters budget is for talent, too ($14m for Melissa, $10m+ for Feig, $10m for Wiig, then Hemsworth, Jones and McKinnon).

Bullshit!  Do you have  source for those salaries?  Why would Wiig get 10 million?

[baumer]

There is no reported 10 million for Wiig:

Downey's Jr paycheck alone is at least 40-50 million.

No series that had a second installment this year will have a third installment. (Unless you count the DCCU)

 

I think Conjuring can get a third film given how cheap they're made.

ID:R could get a sequel too.

 

EDIT:

OUIJA 2 is releasing later this year with a budget of 6m.

OUIJA 1 one made 103m WW (50m Dom, 53m OS) on a 5m budget.

So they have managed to keep the budget in check.

If OUIJA 2 makes ~60m WW, OUIJA 3 could happen.

If the 3rd one is also budgeted at <10m, even 40m WW could be worth it despite the marketing costs.

 Did you see "Spotlight"?

Yep. Not my favourite, I think it was just outside of my top 10 for last year.

[RandomCat]

Anything good happen this weekend? I miss the days when I could actually read the weekend thread. Been far too busy to get the chance.

I'm noticing a pattern about your film taste... it's not good. 

I'm pretty sure I dislike many of the movies you really like as well, that's just how it is.

 

Besides, Jupiter is not an A for me but it is a solid B. Fun movie.

Pacific RIm 2 is happening 100%

 

 

 

No

I think Universal doesn't want to do Pacific Rim 2 but Legendary does.

Sorry, my mistake http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ghostbusters-budget-cut-fox-execs-789896

 

Upward of $10m for Feig.

120m budget for BFG seems great after seeing the trailer. Spielberg always manage to do blockbusters with reasonable budgets.

Most of RDJ's $ is backend and wouldn't be factored into the budget

Considering the CG, $120m is reasonable but it probably helps that Mark Rylance isn't commanding a huge paycheck. Spielberg managed to do Tintin on a $135m budget which is impressive considering the talent involved and the technology.

Should be pretty easy for the two companies to work out a deal where Universal only has to put up 25% of the production budget or so.

Apparently Universal has put up only 25% of Warcraft as well, but will get an equal share of any money, including China where Universal isn't even involved in releasing the movie. Sweet deal they got, very similar to what WB worked out with Legendary for Pacific Rim and Godzilla - all of the upside, almost none of the downside.

As much as I liked the movie, I'm surprised either of them want a sequel. It probably cost $285M after marketing, and the studio's cut of the WW gross was somewhere around $159M. They probably got another $41.6M from home video sales, still leaving the movie $84.3M in the red before considering VOD revenue (which I can't find numbers for). Did the merchandise sell like hotcakes or something?
