No Way In Hell the Budget is $65M


More like $15M. How do the investors clean money in a movie production ?

reply

probably half of the money goes to the salary. ben afflect is one of the highest earning actors

It has that budget? The way this movie came and went, completely unnoticed and barely promoted, I thought it was some very low budget vanity project for Affleck. I couldn't even remember if it went to theaters or straight to streaming.

Yeah, movie looked cheap for that budget. You know 20 millions probably wennt to salary for Affleck and director Robert Rodriguez.

That's probably what happened. Plus the supporting cast and locations. It kind of checks out.

You're totally right. This felt like a $5 million direct-to-demand action movie you'd find in the Walmart bargain bin. Could not believe this was a $65 million studio theatrical blockbuster. I do remember seeing one or two trailers in theaters before other movies, but I don't remember it coming out. What the hell happened to that money?
