WB was trying to push this to debut on streaming. 

WB wouldn't greenlight unless the budget came under $100M (Burton, Keaton, Ryder, O'Hara and Ortega agreed to work for substantially less up front).

What pisses me off is the people against this movie from the start are going to get rich off it now that it is a hit.

 

Reminds me of FOX slashing first Deadpool's budget right before filming because it was a risk, and Jackman had to take a paycut so Logan could be rated R.

 

Disney ended up stealing Deadpool and Wolverine back from FOX makes me feel better I guess...

Seems important to note that it was the prior regime at WB and not current regime De Luca / Abdy. De Luca and Abdy have me excited their slate seems very interesting.

The articles is talking about how it was 10 years in the making - no one against it from the start (10 years ago) who was in a position to make decisions is still at WB
