On water you not only have to wait for clear skies but also no wind and often the right tide and low waves (low Beaufort sea state, highly connected to wind). I do biology research, some on water and some on land, and a similar thing happens in the grant budgets in that boat-based grants regularly come in 50% more expensive or higher. What I'm trying to say is they didn't need that much money, and I'm not sure why they thought an extra 128.5 million for the budget was worth it. Don't give me that 'they knew they would make their money back' it makes no sense to make the 4th pirates of the Carribean film that expensive. Like, who greenlit that massive budget? Why was a 378.5 million dollar film necessary, why not a 250 million dollar film? Makes no sense whatsoever. They could have made the same film for 250 million. People like pirates of the Carribean, but this wasn't some event film, they knew they'd make more, WHY did this film cost so much? I just think it's literally Disney not caring about their money. And also marvel is the most successful franchise in cinema history so it makes sense that they'd wanna give themselves a grand finale Look, that's crazy, but it makes sense when you think RDJ will prob get 50 mil for both and they have to pay essentially 20 A-Listers. Big event film, third and what was going to be the final film, it makes sense.Īvengers Infinity War and the 4th film will each have budgets of 500 million apparently.

I can almost understand 300 million for pirates at worlds end. This post needs to be made because WHY DID DISNEY ALLOW THIS MOVIE TO HAVE SUCH A MASSIVE BUDGET Civil war went to 250 million but that was mostly for salaries. Every marvel film hovers around the 200 million mark. Even Avatar had a normal blockbuster film budget of 237 million. It's almost inexcusable that a film could cost more than 200-250 million in today's day and age.
