True inflation is higher but it’s still comparable, which is why I’m not surprised. Even if it was said it was $200M I wouldn’t be surprised as that is what we’ve come to expect from Disney.
What it shows is don’t count the Mouse out until it’s cross the finish line. This is why all the commentary and calling movies failures before they even complete their theatrical run is silly and in many cases down right insulting.
Goes to show you, if Disney can keep a movie in the Theater long enough it should break even or make money.

What a difference a year makes! Iger for all his flaws have turned around Disney and put Studios back on a path for success.
I give him a ton of credit for slimming down the release schedule to relatively safe releases, Disneys reputation for quality storytelling was severely damaged at the end of 2023, I think it’s largely been restored now, he absolutely deserves praise for that because another 2023 may have taken a decade to recover from. It’ll be interesting to see if that reputation and success carries over to next year with a more varied and questionable release schedule.
He would have been given the blame had Disney had another dismal year, so he deserves the credit when they have success too. And 2024 was highly successful. Also outside of Mufasa I believe most every other film was started or finished after his return. Moana 2 was most certainly his decision to turn it from a streaming show to a theatrical release.
I’m trying to cut down on my “feedback sandwich” posts which include negativity in an otherwise positive post. I’m so used to doing it I usually don’t realize I did it until I get called on it or reread my post though
As Disney Marvel went on the OG Avenger cast got more and more expensive…. Without any original cast members… I am sure they can save a bit of money there… one plus in going with a Mackey Captain America
I'd technically put First Omen under Searchlight even though it was released under the 20th Century banner due to its very low budget. If it hadn't been part of the Omen franchise it would have been under the Searchlight banner.
In this case, I don’t know. I’ve seen a remarkably concerted effort of little micro pages all over my social media feeds trashing her, with many comments then also trashing her. Someone is out to get her. Half the country seem to think she’s the devil. I feel bad for her. I find her fairly compelling in the previews, and will likely see this film.
Similarly, since a lot of people don’t know the comics, really myself included until I heard about it, a lot of people think this is some kind of woke move, and are against the film. When these kinds of things happen, it is at least some measure of an obstacle. A percentage of the potential audience is not just disinterested, but actively against certain things.‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Tracking for Promising $90M-Plus U.S. Box Office Debut
The Marvel sequel sees Anthony Mackie take over duties as the marquee superhero, which opens over Presidents Day weekend.
Captain America with a reported $180 million budget. Anti-doomers, are we back?
You just reminded me, I can’t remember if I ever got around to seeing this. I remember being somewhat interested. I have no recollection. The only thing I can think of in my head is the Liev Schreiber version.
Sure, but I can't imagine Harrisson Ford is costing less. And according to some of the people who were in the movie, they said they essentially shot the movie twice with the amount of reshoots. But whatever, I'm glad it's in that range (I was expecting $220 or more personally), gives it a good change to make a profit, which would be good for the future of the MCU and Falco in particular.
Source?…. Because I will take a trade over some random blogger
I couldn’t find anything confirming that half the movie was reshot, but there were significant and costly reshoots.
