Dare I say...

apparently the break even point for Superman is $750 million? That's insane IMO. I'm very hyped for this but expecting it to make most of a billion seems like a bad idea.

Superman Returns vibes…

In 2025 dollars, that movie grossed over $600 million and is considered a disappointment.

It's 2025. If they did another 'Blair Witch' movie it would need $750 to break even.

That's insane. Clearly they need to cut back on craft services.

If I recall right, there was a lot of money wasted on false starts, which they tacked onto it's production costs, including that terrifying Nick Cage version Superman Lives . I don't think that was fair but what can be done, Cage got paid anyways like 20 million.

Why is Superman so shouty in the trailers. Thought he was supposed to be nice and calm.

Someone let me know that Timex is making Lois' wrist watch. I can't wait to see the design. I hope they put some thought into it and it's not just some marketing thing with an already released watch in a different color or something.

That happened to the first Star Trek movie in 1979.

IIRC the project started life as a TV series reboot in the mid-1970s. Then Star Wars came out and the Trek project was upgraded & fast-tracked into a theater movie. But the existing TV pre-production spending had to come out of the movie's profits.

I knew TMP was not a big hit but that explains a lot, and why TWOK got a cheap budget. Just not fair to do it that way, financially short sighted. The actual products cost should be judged against profit made going forward deciding if the next one could do well. The second one won't have those tacked on costs. Oh well. Will never understand studio logic.

The studios have a weird stupid blindness when it comes to factors like that.
