Post processing make up some of the costs. Many of the shots in Kubo, for example, have incomplete sets and are filmed in front of green screens. These need to be composited together with a CG set and backdrop.
- TylerE 7y agoThat still doesn't really explain it. Fantastic Mr. Fox was made for $40m and had AT LEAST the calibre of cast that any of the Laika films have had.
- mrob 7y agoFantastic Mr. Fox was mostly 12fps. The Laika films I've seen were mostly 24fps.
- dahart 7y agoThe caliber is completely subjective, and Fantastic Mr. Fox made 1.16x box office / budget, so total flop. I’m not sure I understand how the fact that a different film that flopped made 10 years ago by a different company has a different budget demonstrates anything at all? Lots of good films are made for less money, and lots of bad films are made for more money. Many many movies lose money. That’s the reality of movie making, it’s risky. Many many businesses lose money, those are also risky. That’s the extent of what you’re arguing here. If you really want to understand how easy it is to spend a lot of money and lose it, all you need to do is make a movie or start your own company, and witness first hand how good ideas and business plans that seem strong at the time fail to make returns. It’s not weird or hard to understand when big projects lose money. It’s weird when they make money.
