Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

[Jimmy Smith]

260 million! Hey a bigger budget can't hurt. I suspect no matter how good the effects are people will say the original movies effects were better because "muh childhood"

[The Debts]

260 what?! Jesus H Christ, that's big. Here's hoping Bayona makes a better film than the first one was.

[Cremildo]

Notably, Bayona confirmed that the budget for the Jurassic World sequel would be 260 million dollars. This is an increase of one hundred percent over Jurassic World's production of 150 million dollars.

Great math.

Your snark would make more sense if the original film wasn't available to watch nowadays.

I wonder if they'll actually spend any money on crafting a decent screenplay/story.

It's absolutely disgusting how much money Hollywood throws around. $260 million? For what? The same ole crap.

[Underworld54]

Since when was $260M 100% of $150M? That's some Al Gore fuzzy math stuff right there.

[Ray Jackson]

They are milking this franchise for every...last...cent.

That could have been better spent on ten lower budget experimental features, but I guess people do love their dinosaurs...

[AaronJ]

Well, to be fair, the first one made $650B domestic and $1.7B worldwide. So ...

Plus nearly 250 million on dvd/blu in the US alone....

Oh for crying out loud.

For the 10,000th time -- over 1,000 films are released in the US ALONE each year. Disney or Warners or whoever spending a fortune on some film or other does NOT keep other films from being made.

They are creating real dinoaurs being extracting blood from a mosquito like in the movies.

You mean they weren't real in the other films

Universal has insurance incase something happens.

You know what would make me happy, and what would be really interesting to see? Hollywood abandoning "franchising" for a few years, and giving monster budgets to original scripts and concepts, basically forcing filmgoers to abandon the "easy" route and going into new properties, not having a clue what to expect.
I know that will never happen as long as the industry and we filmgoers refuse to change our ways, but hypothetically, that would be awesome!

It's the end of the world as we know it.

The budget for The Accountant is approximately $40M from what I've read.

The budget for The Wolf of Wall Street was somewhere around $100M.

Granted, that's not $260M, but neither of those are franchises.

Yes, of course, but I meant EVERY film. No Fast and Furious, no Star Wars, no Star Trek, no Harry Potter, no Disney or Pixar sequels, no comic book superhero films unless they're completely independent, no Jurassic Whatever, no sequels, no prequels. Just entirely new stuff that's unproven.

I mean, sure. I would prefer the money go elsewhere. But, I don't look to Hollywood for quality anymore. I just think that is an absurd amount of money to spend on a movie...not to mention one that will be a rehash of the ones before it. These summer blockbuster budgets keep getting bigger and bigger and we never see anything new. It's the same ole same ole, time and time again. You would think after the poor box office receipts from this past summer the studios would have learned their lesson, but I guess not.
