Sorry, I will try to clarify.We get it you loved Wicked. But that didn’t answer the question that was asked. What about it has Mufasa caused you to question its budget? By your admission you said the movie was fine. So what about it other than comparison to another films budget does it feel expensive and not worthy of its budget?
I am just a movie consumer, not a financial expert as many seem to be on these boards.
I watched Mufasa, its very nice, nothing unexpected. Whatever they did to produce this cost 200M. Fine.
I watched Wicked, I actually did not want to watch Wicked after I heard the runtime but my kid really wanted me to see it so, OK I finally saw it.
Forget that I liked Wicked, forget its a Universal movie, consider the the sets, the costuming, the props, all the talented players, the detail everywhere, there is a LOT there. I just ASSUMED it cost a lot to make. When it cost significantly less than, for example, Mufasa I was surprised.
Look, all of you are correct and I do not know about these things so I am officially waving the flag of surrender





You are all right and I am wrong in my thinking.
