Why has it always got to be this direction though? Next time you watch a film try tracking the wastage, the unnecessary cuts, the plethora of extras, the ridiculous quantity of explosions and/or CGI.
IMO the future is about more films with lower budgets. At present the amount of money that film studios piss away with their bloated budgets is utterly unsustainable.
- res0nat0r 15y agoNot really. The movies which have racked in the most money of all time all cost 200 million+ to make. http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/records/ http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/records/ The public loves and wants big budget expensive movies.
- Joakal 15y agoHow much of the 200 million+ is marketing? Even some celebrity actors are marketing.
- res0nat0r 15y agoDoes that really matter? The total cost being 200 million plus of every flick on that list shows that big huge expensive movies, marketing, actors included, still are super popular.
- Joakal 15y agoIt's contributing to the popularity, and there's a belief that hollywood is 90% marketing, 10% fluff. I'm just curious if you knew how much was marketing.
- rprasad 15y agoReported budgets for movies do not include marketing, as such costs are highly variable. Thus, those $200 million budgets are the budgets for making the movie, with additional outlay for marketing the movie.
