Just looked it up, mission impossible’s budget was $400 million.
God damn…
For context, ghost protocol which is directed by Brad bird and imo the best one cost $145 million (but 2011 money).
Even fallout which had Henry Cavill and was the most lucrative cost $175 mil. Wtf is going on with Hollywood these days?
I think the real answer is that Tom Cruise is funneling a shit load of production money to himself. Why else would you be director, producer, and lead actor in a movie?
Kind of amazing anyone backed it for any amount of money, the last one was miserably bad.
Cast salaries have been through the roof lately in Hollywood
it is not normal budget by any means. I doubt that the next parts will cost so much. they say there are multiple reasons for that cost, including the pandemic.
I thought this was supposed to be the last one.
Was this ever a valid statement in Hollywood:)?
I wonder if they fudged the numbers to hide that they lost money
What do you mean? The movie made 450M, the budget of 400M is only production, does not include marketing or distribution. In the past the studios got around 40-50% of the box office, even if it's more in this casre the movie definitely lost money, can't hide that.
Ahhh I didn't know thanks
