it is not normal budget by any means. I doubt that the next parts will cost so much. they say there are multiple reasons for that cost, including the pandemic.

Just looked it up, mission impossible’s budget was $400 million.
God damn…
For context, ghost protocol which is directed by Brad bird and imo the best one cost $145 million (but 2011 money).

I wonder if they fudged the numbers to hide that they lost money

What do you mean? The movie made 450M, the budget of 400M is only production, does not include marketing or distribution. In the past the studios got around 40-50% of the box office, even if it’s more in this casre the movie definitely lost money, can’t hide that.

I think the real answer is that Tom Cruise is funneling a shit load of production money to himself. Why else would you be director, producer, and lead actor in a movie?
