20. "If you're spending ~200 mil on the director and *one* actor..." In response to In response to 17
... then your budget for this is easily going to approach a billion dollars. Which makes your budget once marketing and everything else is added closer to 2-2.5 billion. So anything short of an Endgame-level return is going to be a loss.
And if it tops out at, like, 1.5 billion, as *merely* one of the top ten movies in box office history? Your company could lose, like, a billion dollars, lol.
It's one thing to do this when you're James Cameron, and crossing 2 billion dollars is kind of just what you do every time out, lol. But for Marvel to decide to shove all their chips on the table betting the audience is as excited for whatever this'll be as it was for Endgame is... maybe not what I would've personally done? We'll see!
