Do we believe THR or the Mtv board?

quote:

The winter 2025 box office could certainly use a hero, and all eyes are on Anthony Mackie-starrer Captain America: Brave New World to be just that.

If early tracking is right, the Marvel Studios feature should open to at least $90 million-plus over the combined Valentine’s Day/Presidents Day weekend, one of the top showings ever for the holiday. That’s the same weekend the first Deadpool opened, as well as the first Black Panther. This year’s first all-audience event pic opens on Feb. 14.

It’s back to the basics for Marvel when it comes to the movie, which sees an entirely new cast. Mackie‘s Sam Wilson take up the mantle of Captain America, the hero previously played by Chris Evans. Tonally, the movie stays away from sci-fi elements and the multiverse and features an entirely new cast. It also cost around $180 million, less than many other Marvel movies.

Makes a hell of a lot more sense that the $400-$450 million that keeps getting tossed around.

The budget for Endgame was $356 million and it had a huuuuuuge cast of expensive stars.

They pretty much reshot the entire movie from scratch. No way it was only $180 million

To put it in perspective, The Force Awakes holds the record for the most expensive movie ever made with a budget of $447 million.

It was likely much higher, but they get big tax breaks. I remember reading that Capt Marvel was close to 300, but tax breaks brought down the final cost to about 210 mil.

Anthony Mackie on the reshoots rumors for ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD’: “It wasn’t retooled at all, every Marvel movie I’ve done has done reshoots. It’s not retooling or remaking. You basically get the movie and the story you want, you edit it together, then go back and shoot a few more scenes

Fake news, you can’t have that many reshoots and rewrites but still be way under budget. Sorry to break the cope

Deadline is also saying 180. Show us your data, I'd love to review it

Demos remain hot with men above and under 25. In addition, the latest Cap is solid with Latino and Black moviegoers. Captain America: Brave New World cost around $180M before P&A.

Posting articles from news sources the studio owns isn’t data my friend. Use your own common sense, they’re scaling back a budget by over 120 million with reshoots and rewrites? Be serious for a second.

You should definitely trust "World of Reel - Your place for alternative movie news" who has " a contact, deeply indebted in the current ‘Brave New World’ reshoots" instead.

Movie is tracking for a $95 million opening weekend. If this movie turns a profit some people on this board will throw a massive fit and try to cope hard

They'll just say "they" are lying about the budget or the ticket sales or overinflate the marketing costs or something like that.

Well, we won't know until they file all the paperwork for the UK tax credits, but I don't see how it is possible they came in under $200m. Not with the reported reshoots.

Now, this does have a smaller, more reasonably priced cast than, say even Civil War. But, the gross spend on The Marvels was $374m (before tax credits, but also not counting marketing). Many shill sites tried to downplay this almost up to the release. The paperwork afterwards almost doubled what some of the Vanity Fair, Deadline and Variety shills trying to cover Disney/Marvel's arse.

I'm going out on a limb here, but there is no way it is under $200m and probably not under $300m. THR is a shill without credibility on this topic. Regardless, we'll know in about a year or year and a half that this thing cost between $375m and $415m (gross spend before tax credits, but also before marketing costs are included).

Close - gross spend was about $375, net (after credits) closer to $300m to $310m.

Sure you do. I linked it. That blog is the source that all those other "insiders" were referencing when they started saying the budget was $350-$375 million.
