You guys might be right but im gonna need to see some receipts for 150+million dollar movies that spend 2-3x that on a marketing budget.

You can buy 2 Superbowl ads for 11m total, and (under normal circumstances) run trailers at the theater before movies from the same studio at little cost. How the hell are they getting to 400m??

You'll never see those receipts. that's the hustle

Yet you're always first in line for Nolan flicks

I was also first in line for that Russell Crowe car stalker film. Being first in line is part of the game.

 

[loyola llothta]

too much money on the line

I'm convinced we will never see an Avatar sequel.

Even if it broke even at the theater it'd still make money based on Rentals/sales and streaming rights. But I don't think we need to be discussing the theater right now, nothing is playing in theaters anytime soon lol

Pffft. At this rate, Avatar 3 will come out around the time our grand-kid's grand-kids are growing up. I hope they enjoy it.

I don't think anyone cares about the Avatar sequels anymore. Avatar came out in 2009 when the MCU only had two films (Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk), the last Star Wars movie came out in 2005, etc. It was unique for it's time but so much piff has released since then.

Not quite true yet. Spielberg, Scorsese, Cameron, Tarantino ...

Majority if not all of his films have never been huge financial successes. People will go see his movies but your not going to see a crowded theater everyday opening weekend.

800mill sounds like a lot, I remember reading 400-500mil back in April.

This movie is over-the-top expensive though, some notes:

1. Filming took place in 7 countries (Denmark, Estonia, India, US, Norway, UK, Italy)
2. "A restaurant set named "Chaand" was built near the hotel but never used, serving only as an alternative"
3. Instead of using miniatures and visual effects (VFX) for a plane crash sequence, Nolan determined that purchasing a Boeing 747 proved more cost effective
4. October saw them in a desert outside Palm Springs, where an abandoned city had been constructed and hundreds were clothed in military camouflage uniforms.
5. Executives calculated that each postponement cost Warner Bros. between $200,000 and $400,000 in marketing fees

Got me hyped even more
Dont give in Nolan. We gon wait till 2022 if we have to.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Lmao @ the marketing budgets being thrown around in here.


Tying the marketing budget to the production budget sounds like some rule of thumb shyt that loses its meaning when the production costs are really low or really high.

It's official. Overseas gets TENET first followed by "select" U.S. cities Labor Day Weekend. Also, TENET is expected to stay in theaters basically as long as they want it to.
