  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 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?

    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.

      I thought this was supposed to be the last one.

    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 did not expect Lilo & Stitch to be doing that much, given how much complaint I saw online about it coming out. I guess this is a prime example of the vocal minority. I’m sure a sequel will be fast tracked.

    If they did a animated sequel placed sometime after the tv series I’d be game. I know I won’t be getting that though.

      I was shocked to find out the show did get a sequel series. In anime.

    No. It’s pretty solid meh. Just because people ignore it to watch the solid meh movie from Disney, is just separate to the criticism.

    People all over are happy for the digital baby sitter for a couple hours and this is one of the most beloved characters in the world if you have ever seen the amount of stitch merchandise. The majority agrees it’s ok at best but we don’t live in a legit meritocracy and Disney will get its money back not in spite of it but just because.

    Yeah, but they got the attention they wanted and grifters got the profit they want from rage baiting.

  It’s crazy to think a remake of a media that aged well is making so much money, Gisney really just throwing spam on the wall and see what stick.

  M.I was also very useful propaganda for recruiting to the military, they said they hit thier qouta last year because of the movie.

  Those are some solid numbers for Mission Impossible; I’ve stopped watching them after the third or the fourth one.

    The real MI is to get people to watch them
