My bet is a lot of it is ending up in Disney's execs' Caribbean bank accounts. They fought so hard to keep Peltz of the Board because he wanted an audit, and all of their shenanigans would come out.
I'm betting there's a lot of money laundering or padded salaries in lots of companies. Reminds me of Wheel of Time Season 1 somehow spending one million dollars on cheap, shitty looking wigs. There's no way. Some of that definitely ended up in someone's pocket.
When you're reshooting over and over again, you pay premium upon premium to expedite everything. Ever tried to get your car fixed... overnight... with new parts? Yeah. You bet you're going to pay WAY for that. Paying for overtime, expedited shipping, out bidding others in a rush... trying to not breach contracts, extending contracts... cutting corners, making mistakes for rushing... paying even more to fix last minute mistakes... Preparation is everything and they waste pretty much ALL of their pre-production. I'm sure there's some underhanded stuff, but attribute to malice before incompetence. When you hire for checkboxes instead of merit, you can bet there's tons of incompetence that's costing billions.
My stomach hurt from hearing that actual budget. I would honestly lay on train tracks and wait if I lost THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. How do you even do that!? And the shareholders voted to keep this crap going by letting Iger stay, not taking this huge loss as a sign? They deserve to lose their money.
At my job, if you're so much as $20 off it's a sit down with a manager writeup and you're on the list to get moved to a slot that doesn't involve handling money. I can't imagine losing that much money.
@@c0d3warrior And the trains! You can build at least ten trains to come by while you wait on those tracks from losing THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
Reminder: Jeff Loveness never wrote a screenplay before this film. Bill Murray was quoted as saying he wrote it as they were filming. Make of this what you will. Evidence for this is in the first couple minutes of the Directors Commentary.
Disney has been caught saying they made money on Star Wars by adding ten years of projected profit (I.E. money they never got yet, and probably never will), adding sales of product TO THEMSELVES, and shuffling as many expenses elsewhere that they could (or just not counting the expense in the case of purchasing Lucasfilm). They claimed Star Wars made 2.9 times what they spent. At a total income of aprox. 2 billion dollars they haven't even earned half of what they spent on Lucasfilm itself, not to mention ALL THE OTHER EXPENSES THEY FILED UNDER OTHER CATEGORIES. The point here, never trust the numbers Disney claim or admit to.
Of course they're lying about the budgets of other films as well. Specially the controversial ones like The Blackwashed Mermaid. As I've said multiple times, that film alone lost them almost half a billion dollars. Not only the marketing expenses were astronomical, but the film was delayed and reshot a bunch, it got postponed thanks to the unspecified virus of unknown origin, that there's no way the budget of the film wasn't AT LEAST 300 million. Same applies to all their other films.
@@seanguinn That doesn't have as much to do with it as the theaters that had hundreds of tickets purchased remotely, yet were found to be almost empty when inspected during the screenings. Mark my words, DisnESG was buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of tickets to Captain Plank to try and astroturf Brie Larson into being the face of Marvel, just like how Hack Snyder used bots to con Warner-Discovery into letting him make _Hack Snyder's Justice League: The Hack Snyder Cut (by Hack Snyder)._
It can be argued that Disney didn't "lie", but lying by omission is still lying. This just confirms what people have been saying for years. That these budgets just are not sustainable.
This is par for the course for Disney to be fudging the numbers here- be it in their accounting or in their production budgets. But the truth will always come to light.
Indiana Jones 5 gets brought up a lot because it costs $300 million to make since it is mixed live action and CG, possibly more expensive than 2D cartoons.
This makes me wonder how much Captain America "Woke new world" and "Snow Woke" will cost? Considering all the reshoots these films are said to be going through this must be at least the GDP of a South American nation.
Disney reenacting the scene from Dark Knight where the Joker lights up half the Gotham's mafia money, only its REAL money. And everyone seems to be fine with it.
Disney blew it with how they presented and marketed the quantum realm. The quantum realm gets into potentially interesting science fiction. Disney could have done some major world building and built up the Quantum Realm like a "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The focus being on the Science Fiction with interesting conflict between the characters driving the story. They could have made many movies and TV series out of that, to include doing Fantastic Four more correctly.
We know they spend more money than they make on these later MCU movies and shows. The overinflated budgets end up in the pockets of bad people who don’t care about making good products or storytelling
If this is how much money Disney spent on Ant Man 3 of all things, I can't imagine how much they spent on GOTG 3 and Deadpool 3 which is getting reshoots this week. Disney's insanity has truly come full circle with how their money is managed
It was in the can last year already but Disney/Marvel sent it for test screenings and it didn't go well. They started reshoots in January and are still going. Last week it was reported that if they keep Mackie much longer they’re going to have to pay him double because he has other projects that he has lined up.
Remember it's not that they have to make twice as much to break even, but three to four times as much. The theaters take nearly 50% of the over all box office haul.
There is absolutely no budget control at the House of Mouse. Didn't they spend almost 25 million per episode on She-Hulk? But Bob Iger has everything under control (not).
I was a hardcore theater fan. I would go by myself if people didn’t want to go and actually preferred It so I could completely focus on the movie. I would go to every marvel movie but didn’t even see the 3rd skywalker film after what they did to their legacy characters. Disney is trash now.
If I used money from investors and lost it and hid it to get more investment money isn't that called fraud? I'd be thrown in prison. Yet Disney's C-Suite continues to do the with impunity.
At the rate Disney is going with these movies, they will be lucky if any movie they make is under $250 million before marketing. They have been spending mad even going back to TFA. Especially with all the reshoots and post work these movies add in, its no wonder Disney is just burning money.
Disney is like me as a kid when I head out alone. "Did you get anything while you're out?" "Yeah." "How much you spent?" "Like $30." When it was more like $75 or $80.
How do shareholders not get together to shit on them and sue or something... Unless they know how much they are losing and actually don't care, but if they are being lied to the same as the public, can't they sue the shit out of Disney?
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquid gotta have the cliff scene with Conan running after him yelling ERIC!!!!!!! also gotta have a McDonald's sponsored Dance sequence and the finale where he gets shot to death by the Police.

You have to ask yourself, where did the money go? i have seen movies with budgets way less than this and was better produced. Someone definitely was using this movie to launder money but the question is where and to who?
The corporate way of approving media is the problem. There are tiers of people in the approval chain. Most of them haven't put much thought towards the project until a copy of it arrives on their desk. Then they start ordering changes. All cuts and revisions are to be of FINAL CUT (fully polished) quality. Once that person is satisfied with the revisions... that version then goes to the next person or group on the tier. It is then rinsed and repeated until we get to the very TOP levels of approval. Change everything in accordance to what the top level feels about this Swiss cheese mess of death-by-committee. Your creatives, no longer want to create. They want to just push the project out with whatever changes are ordered exactly as ordered and who cares how good it looks or sounds. We're just working for the sign-off now. It's no longer a work of art but a collective toilet of ideas that needs flushing.
There is a persistent rumor that the reason why one of the women hired as their CFO was fired, was because she reportedly found inconsistencies in the books.
And they will continue to lose as they applaud themselves. Those who constantly look down their nose will never see the train coming as they refuse to move from where they are.
Valiant Renegade has covered this and other Disney movies’ blown budgets long ago. Every movie is a new company for British filming credits where they have to release the actual costs. They did the same with Star Wars. Watch Valiant Renegade and you’ll see all that stuff.
Modok on the big screen was only going to work one way: lean heavily into the body horror. Make him a horribly twisted, mutated thing, like Gollum or Voldy from 9 3/4. Instead, they just made him look like a giant doll's head.
In regards to budgets. How often does anything stay within budget? Buildings, bridges, roads, pipe, aircraft everything goes over budget. I see no reason why Hollywierd would be any different.
If you start watching Antman 3 about 30 minutes into the movie, when Bill Murrey shows up, it's actually pretty good, sort of... it's watchable. At the beginning when he's walking through the streets of San Fransico, and it's all sunny, everyone's happy, giving each other hi 5's, it's clean, no homeless people, it drew me right out of the movie, I can suspend my disbelief enough to think maybe there could be superpowers, but seeing San Fran a happy place, lol, too much.
The least expensive, most bang for your buck part of a film or TV series is the writing. A good script is worth more than a big name actor because a good actor can do more with a good script than a great actor can make of a bad script. We've all seen great actors who, because of bad scrips no matter how great their performance was just couldn't do anything to save a film... Want to make a film successful? Hire great writers and reign in "producers" who aren't themselves great writers.
The budget is what they think they will spend before starting. Disney always goes way over budget when they have to reshoot a huge amount of each movie. So 270 million after credit so add another 100 to 150 million in marketing so they have an all in cost of 370 to 420 million. So disney gets around 50 percent after theaters get their take. So basically they had to hit 700 to 800 million to break even. So 467 million worldwide so they made 230 ish million so they lost 140 to 200 million on the film.
No. They just hoped they could continue to fool people into thinking they need to watch EVERY Marvel movie just to keep up with the overall plot. It doesn't work anymore.
Here’s something worth keeping an eye on with Disney movies especially Marvel ones lately If they said they spent $200 million dollars on it than chances are they spent 40-65 percent more as seen with Black Widow, Doctor Strange 2 and now Ant-Man 3 with some of these dangerously getting into the $300 million range
Why they thought they could spend £300million on an Antman movie and make a profit. The previous two movies didnt do that well. Plus not every movie have to be massive cgi fest. Currently rewatching Punisher tv show and its a million times better than what MCU has produced since Endgame.
It's not about making money. It never was. It's about Disney trying to change social norms and for Disney no amount of money is too much if they think they can achieve that.
"A good chunk of it took place in the quantum realm, and the NOT CHEAP!" Yeah, I know! They had to actually invent the technology and then actually go down there and film! Super expensive! The fact they did it for under $400 million is an impressive undertaking.
And they'll NEVER admit why, because constantly losing money is easier than admitting that their ways of doing things are WRONG.
Only until the creditors come knocking, and they run out.
