Mad Men is a big-budget TV show. Its per episode budget is north of $2 million.
- hapless 15y agoMad Men produces 13, 45-minute episodes a season. 13 hours of content for $33 million (at 2.5 million an episode.) That's $55,000 a minute, versus $1,462,962 a minute for Avatar. An order of magnitude difference. Each minute of Avatar cost nearly as much as a small episode of Mad Men. That's exactly the kind of feature a shrunken Hollywood, not focused on blockbuster hits, might produce.
