Movies That Went Wildly Over Budget 

Most of the Hollywood films nowadays are way overbudget. Marvel started this trend and everyone else followed it only to end up losing money including Marvel itself. I recently loved Challengers and the film was very good! But my jaw nearly dropped when I saw that the production budget was 55 million dollars...Almost all the tennis court scenes used a CGI tennis ball and that was the only CGI work. Other than that, I can't wrap my head around why the budget is so high. The film was a box office success but still I think they could've profited a lot more with lesser budget. Or I'd like to see a breakdown into why it might've cost so much if anyone can explain it.

Here's an actual breakdown of Cameron's budget busters: The Abyss $70 million. Terminator 2 $110 million True Lies $120 million Titanic $200 million Avatar $400 million (approx) with R&D

I would say that Apocalypse Now has a greater history of production excesses than does Titanic. I think Titanic definitely spent more money over the budget but I've heard about the Apocalypse Now shooting stories for a very long time. Some of the Apocalypse Now stories aren't just about going over budget though but also about going over the time limits that had been put on the movie.😊

Fantastic video as always, just wanted to say you’ve become one of my favorite channels on the platform. May you continue to grow and prosper

Heaven's Gate was always considered the movie that cocaine built. Supposedly there was a shot of a dude's ass that took more than 30 attempts.

just want to say that I love your videos. You have a very pleasant voice and make great content. Keep up the great work!

Don’t forget George’s editing team saved his bacon too.

You have quickly become one of my favorite RU-vidrs I can’t get enough love everything you do!!!!!!!!!!

Surprised there's no mention of Waterworld, but it would be the least extravagant of all these, which is saying something.

And movies keep on having bigger and bigger budgets which makes less profit for the studio and a higher chance of flopping. The 200m budget has started to become the new normal for movies and movies are starting to become over 300m (the electric state, f1 movie, mission impossible 8, gladiator 2 to name a few that will come out within the next 18 months). Also big budget movies are starting to flop and flop more as we saw that in 2023 with 13 movies with a 200m+ budget out of the 14 that flop and which there is many reasons why they all flop and one of them is quality, which most of them didn't have a lot quality unlike the movie the creator with 80m dollar budget that looks likes a very expensive movie which had good quality, but not amazing quality. Unfortunately it bombed, but it did show that movie studios that can have their budget cut down by a lot and being more of a profit gain, but most of these movie studios aren't gonna learn or take awhile to learn, but we do see that dream works animation is cutting down their budgets making their profits higher even through animation movies usually do decent or good, but at least someone is learning. So far this year, some big budget movies have flopped but there have been more successful ones, but i see the second half having more flops than the first half but still have more successful ones. Next year will be interesting, since many big budget movies come out next year and i see a lot of them flopping so 2025 could be another 2023. As the major movie studios look for the next big thing, the smaller ones or independent ones will start becoming more successful with their originals unlike major ones that have originals flopping and relying on IP instead. It will be very interesting the next shift will be like.

Sorcerer is a masterpiece. In my top of all time.

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

Titanic: did an irate crewmate feed the entire crew crystal meth? I remember as a kid hearing that they all got the flu. Years later, I heard the real story, and that cameron worked through the high

I just finish reading wiki about the Empire Strike Back's production today! This video seem pretty coincidence and I loved it.

All these movies were amazing, maybe not for the studios but for those watching is pure spectacle

I’ve watched both The Deer Hunter and Heaven’s Gate. They’re both significantly dull. The cinematography on both is gorgeous. But the films themselves are incredibly boring and slow. If I was a producer I might, at a stretch, have green lit another Cimino film with a mid budget after the success of TDH but I for sure would never have given him a blank cheque. He was an accomplished indie director (at best), he was never ever going to be an epic film director. It would be like giving Judd Apatow or Kevin Smith $300m to film whatever their version of ‘manifest destiny’ was

If there ever was a channel that needed an AI narrator it's probably this one. Dude has a pretty weird voice but I do appreciate the videos. I've seen a few from this channel and they've all been pretty good but his voice is something that takes a while to get used to.
