I’ve heard of some HUGE budgets in my time but this has to take the cake. Apparently Bryan Singer has stated that the final bill for Superman Returns is going to be around $250 million!!!
Now to put this into perspective, a movie is generally considered a “Big Hit” if it makes $100 million at the box office. As a matter of fact, only 34 films in history have ever made $250 million (North American). And Superman Returns is going to spend that much on making it? Wow! They must REALLY believe in this film… and the visual effects must be out of this world.
I wonder if that includes the cost of marketing or for just the film. I imagine the marketing alone will run around $30 million. Like I said, the studio must REALLY believe in this film and the concepts Singer threw at them. I’m just stunned at that amount. $250 million!!!
