If you follow the x2 metric for profitability…that puts this movie close to needing a billion…
Yeesh.
Considering how underachieving all Disney tent poles have been for quite a while now - except avatar which they claim but they really had little to do with - and it’s more clouds on the horizon.
They can’t get some movies made…and the multiverse is - predictably - losing steam.

That would put it in the top 10 of all time most expensive movies. Not saying its not true, but not sure I believe it outright either.

That seems really high…would need to see a line item on that.
How much are they paying Liz Taylor Ford?

Even Solo with its 70% of the film reshot was under $300M at $275M. So it really is hard to believe, even with all the green screen and VFX work, how this is going to be over $125M more expensive.

Or is it possible they are talking about budget + marketing being over $400M.
As its being reported as $294.7B, which is what I would expect based on the reports of reshoots putting it inline with Solo's budget.

I can’t see either of those awful stiffs named “Bob” green lighting $400

I wonder if there is any truth to the claim that these films are made by shooting a bunch of different versions and trying to find what works best in editing. Hence the high cost.
The CGI really should be better if they're putting Avatar money into this. I feel there's a trend in Hollywood where they know everyone knows stuff is CGI and so while very impressive. They are content with it looking CGI and unrealistic. I feel like 2012 was the starting point. That film had great CGI, but it was still CGI. Now the aim is to do good CGI but never bother with the final steps to try and make it look real. As they know people know it's CGI.
The only films that put that effort is, is when they won't want you to know it is CGI because it could be real. Or the rare film like Avatar 2, where it's all about being realistic.

Good movies that last and make money out the theater have to have a good story that makes a complete arc and characters developed well enough that you could put yourself in their place.
That’s it.
Not focus groups and cgi compositing.
It’s just how it will always be

Hollywood has used test screenings since 1928, that will never change. And so when a test screening doesn't give the results the studio expects they will go back for pickups, edits, or even full reshoots of the film until they get scores they want from test screenings.
Sometimes the end results works out sometimes it doesn't, that is just how it is and always will be, its all a gamble.

I don’t think they have “the process” right. These days…many movies make it to the screen with established characters and franchises that are DOA

Ok, so Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) is no youngster, there is extensive use of CGI (like its not extensively used these day, duh) its an established IP and the critics, analysts etc. (who are not clairvoyant nor enlightened) are being mediocre in their commentary. Oh yeah lets not forget talk about its budget. That is all a lot of noise! It's interesting, it's an on-screen fictitious adventure that provides some escapism for the audience. I am looking forward to seeing it, seeing the vintage Indiana get out there and do it again.

That was what the directors of Solo where doing until Kennedy put a stop to it and just told Richie Cunningham to finish it.

Better than the last trailer, and Mikkelsen looks like perfect casting. This one doesn’t seem to have as many CG-heavy shots, have to wonder if that’s intentional. The capitalism line is cringe and feels anachronistic but whatever. At this point if they can get a couple setpieces that feel like the old series, it’ll be considered a win.

Love the old school poster which isn't just a photo montage.
