One person estimates that it costs 500 Million to make, while others say between 250 and 350 million.
At those costs it will have break box office records just to break even!
Thing that amazes me is how come they even have a "promotions and marketing" budget. Seems to me that most people will see the movie regardless of all the advertising. All they needed was a couple of posters for each theater. |
it wont necessarily have to break box office. Box office only normally takes into account domestic (north american) pull. Also, a movie like spiderman is gonna have so much murchandising etc associated w/ it, it should have no problem breakign even. Often in times like this the pull from merchandise is so great taht the movie is essentially a long commercial (from a business point of view).
I dont think any of the executives who were responsible for this are worried about making money.
