:stress: And another says
68% drop. Yep, it's official. Snow White is now gonna miss $100 million domestically. Absolutely terrible, no matter where you look at it.

Snow White bros...Zeglerchads...this can't be real. I won't believe it until the real numbers come out.
 
I want some enterprising journocuck to investigate what is inflating the budgets of these movies so much. There is zero reason that any of this garbage should cost as much as Titanic. The Faerie Tale Theatre episode of Snow White probably cost about fifty thousand dollars to make and is a thousand times better than this shit.

He holds no interest for me, but Jason Statham is a major box office draw for men 20-40 and his movies are relatively cheap. The Beekeeper grossed like $120 million worldwide. If it had Snow White's budget, it would have been a Hiroshima level bomb...but it cost $50 million, so guess who gets to keep making movies?
 
Jason Statham is awesome!

My theory is that these aren't the production budgets. It's the cost that the subsidiary studios Disney owns charge to deliver a film. Production budget plus profit for the studio. Disney is big enough that unlike most other studios, it doesn't need outside investors.

Walt Disney Pictures, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar etc. They will charge a baseline fee of $250 mil to deliver a film, TV series or whatever. Obviously, more if the product needs it. They make the film, make a profit and deliver it to another part of Disney where they have to make money from it. If the film is a box office failure, the production film company still made money. The other part can write it off as a tax loss.

I also think this helps explain why films that undergo a lot of reshoots often don't have increases in the budgets. The studio is charging so much more than the production budget. The profit section absorbs expensive reshoots.

I could be completely wrong though, maybe they're just bad at constraining budgets but it just doesn't make sense when you look at what other studios do. Also the consistent high costs of Disney films.

Dune 2, which has amazing visuals, talent, on-location shooting and everything top notch. Cost below $200 mil.

Godzilla x Kong which is wall to wall CGI on par with most Disney stuff was $135 mil.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was $160 mil. That film had on location filming and a lot of cutting edge visual effects.

It's either complete mismanagement by Disney or some money shifting game.

It's amazing Verne lasted as long as he did. Dwarfs have fuck tons of health issues and he was a 2-3 bottles of vodka a day alcoholic on top of that.

Verne Troyer's dwarfism was cartilage–hair hypoplasia which is extremely rare and far more fragile condition than achondroplasia, which is the most common "little person" disorder you see in people like Peter Dinklage, Wee Man, Hornswoggle, etc. These people are at greater risk of conditions like obesity and inner-ear infections and pregnancy is significantly higher risk but achondroplasiacs no longer have diminished life expectancy. Most of the Munchkin actors from Wizard of Oz lived past 70 and a good number made it to 90. The last one died in 2018 at the age of 98.

Tarzan was raised by fucking gorilias in a jungle. He's going to miss social cues wether he's actually autistic or not.

Tarzan bagged the first human woman he met without ever uttering a complete sentence. He's fine.

Most basic explanation is rushed development meets incompetence. Movie production these days does not go through the usual flow as they skip steps to rush the product out.

The most egregious aspect is that the filming starts before the story is even drafted. Writers are essentially writing as they film, leading to the numerous reshoots as no one plans out how the film works beforehand. Reshoots are no longer reshoots, they are entire films being redone as the story was not set in stone prior to production.

Test screenings and usual studio politics only inflate things further. With this film in particular, there was obviously a lot redone given the numerous cultural shifts and leaks. There was the dwarf fiasco, the original leaked image fiasco and then highly likely to be the election results, all of which lead to sweeping changes.

Actors are likely another aspect. Not Snow White, but with Marvel, it was pretty known that RDJ alone was taking like 1/3rd of the budget. A lot of modern films also seem to track this as even someone like Dwayne is costing studios billions to have be a part of their film. Red One would have been a lot cheaper without the involvement of Johnson and his studio.

Finally, you have the abundance of CGI, which is getting more expensive for Disney in particular after they abused all the CGI studios during the Marvel golden years. Disney‘s lack of planning, highlighted above, meant they came to all these CGI studios demanding work be done in a week for a completely new scene they just rewrote as there was no story before filming. Want to say Endgame saw Disney drop a large chunk of film needing work on a studio and gave them two weeks, which was actually one as they forgot to disclose they are showing the film a week early.

As much as I don’t want to encourage this, how did Jack Skellington not make the list?

It's a sad thing that some of these studios refuse to do pre-production anymore.

Almost every zoomer guy I know watches Statham slop. It's nothing special but think back to when you were a dumb teenager and liked watching generic action movies with the same plot because they had cool dudes beating each other up.
