How the fuck do you spend $88M making a movie? Did they just forget the century of work done by hollywood to decrease the costs of sets? Did they bring the entire cast of Expandables out and a spice girls reunion?
I do not get it. This reaks of some sort of tax fraud or money laundry.
Maybe every scene was a VFX Composition like Star Wars the Force Awakens.
If you look at how film are financed, you’ll see that it basically is money laundering and tax fraud. Short version is the studio sets up a production company, studio gives production company everything they need to make a film. Production company then let’s the studio use their new stuff, for a fee (think like $5 for a page of a script printed out). Studio now owes production company millions (the cost to produce the film), so studio never makes a profit on the production. Production company goes out of business because studio doesn’t pay them, so they eat the debt and folds.

Found some charts
A good film does not need a marketing budget.
That’s just wrong.
And the budget they announce usually doesn’t even include the marketing budget, which is also millions of dollars.
It’s seriously incredible how much money they waste on vanity projects.
