IDK...if the movie is crafted with a cause in mind it doesn't have to be made on a shoestring but there's no need to be wasteful, either. There's actually another movie that was released last month very similar to this one (including a love triangle) except funded by Turkish interests, so, extremely different (and controversial) POV being presented to say the least. But, anyway, I doubt that movie cost $90-100M. Is it shortsighted to wonder just what the budget was spent on, a massive scale in general, or, hand sewn costumes for the extras, executive producers with vanity credits paid exorbitant fees, crew members charging furniture for their homes as "miscellaneous" items on the budget? Is the feeling about the budget more that it was crazy to spend that much, or HOW could it have possibly cost that much, as in, where did all that money go?  Those are two different questions.

 

I think there's a difference between "wasteful" and "is it possible to make this movie for less?". In the case of THE PROMISE, he wanted top-dollar talent involved on every level and he didn't care about losing money on it. That's a fairly rare situation. It's not horribly surprising for a period movie to cost that much, though of course other period movies have been made for less.

Despite bigger OW and 2nd weekend than F6, F8 now trails F6 by 8m because F6 had much bigger Mon-Thu (Memorial Day and summer).

F6 like legs will take F8 to 237 but I think it will settle closer to 230. 232 will be a 2.35x multi and imo that is what F8 is targetting.

I think f6 like legs (F6 ended up with 139% of what it made after 10 days) would put F8 to 226 million (maybe I'm not using the good formula thought)

That's fair enough. Though Memorial Monday inflated the 10 day period for F6.

Also for F8 summer advantage is yet to kick in while F6 had it from the beginning.

That's the reason I think it might edge over 230. Will be interesting to see how it fares when GOTG2 opens.
