I heard the budget was $46 Billion and that Jim had actually had a real life Skynet developed...

Hope the overpaid tool will go the extra mile on this one.

The part of the budget estimated at 2:34 of the video, where we state that- "TERMINATOR 6 - $255 MILLION USD" is incorrect, and should actually say: 'TERMINATOR 6 - €255 MILLION EURO, which is equivalent to $295,366,245.00 USD

Got a feeling this one is full Manhatten Projectode.

 

Jim been splitting the atom longer than you've been alive... you [Mod Edit]!

according to whose ass?

In certain ways, budgets don't really matter with projects like these...as Terminator is still a largely independent production, only being distributed by Paramount in the U.S. and FOX internationally.  It's "funded" largely by a cache of independent investors, including Skydance, China's Tencent Pictures and of course Cameron's own Lightstorm.  So a lot of people will have actually already been "paid" by the sale of the film's international distribution rights.

 

But regardless, yes...somebody's paying.  And paying big overall, for this one.  But big is not so big individually, when the pie is increasingly split. 

 

Read Edward J. Epstein's book compilation "The Hollywood Economist" (Which contains his great write-up on Schwarzy's Terminator 3 contract) for more insight into the emergence of modern profiteering in the international film industry.

@TombRaider I found the source, one of the actors in the film told a newspaper off the cuff, "I'm doing two movies at the moment and the difference is crazy, you know one is two million euro, the other two hundred !"

 

not exactly an accurate budget number....

With those one studio do intl one studio do domestic kind of deal, it is usually not a lot of itnernational markets pre-sales type of financing.

 

But cost split, revenue split kind of deal.

Yes, but even Paramount (who is desperate for some kind of franchise besides Mission: Impossible) and FOX (who will be in a different state of industrial existence by the end of next year)  are both primarily paying for distribution rights here...at least according to the official trade reports.  The production is thus "financing itself" to a degree...

 

My point is... no one big studio is risking anything earth-shattering with this, like FOX/Paramount were with Titanic, for instance.  I think Skydance are probably on the hook a little more, in this case.

Sources tell me it had a budget.

Will they go back to the R rating?

Not in a million years. A $295 million budget film needs to be Pg-13
