Depends on their angle of approach. "The Lego Movie" was supposed to look like room-sized Lego sets. This should look better than "Megamind"
Can we get some comps here? PIXAR films have been known to cost about $175-200M, Megamind was $130M (Dreamworks goes from $60M-175M), Sony animation films have been around $80M (like Hotel Transylvania (and I HOPE it looks better than THAT!)), Illumination Entertainment between $63-76M (and they all look bare minimum).
I understand they're using an animated Spider-Man film to dabble creatively (and potentially with these kinds of risks) on the cheap--but delivering any superhero film, in a certain scope, especially to deliver on a brand that's now a part of the MCU (which are now hitting $250M apiece consistently)...do you really believe they'll only spend $60M to make this film?
HH: According to my sources, Miles Morales will be the Spider-Man in [ASPDR] May 27, 12:13
The general audience is going to have no clue what's up with this film. That's a "Fanboys-only" move. {nm} May 27, 12:15
Disagree, this is a kids movie for those growing up watching Ulimate Spider-Man cartoons. {nm} May 27, 12:18
Where you get $120M? LEGO cost $60M and more than made back its budget. {nm} May 27, 12:47

Well, some of the Blue Sky stuff like the Ice Age films skirts around 90-100. DWA is 120+, Pixar is 150+ {nm} May 27, 13:53
this is absolutely more Lego than Pixar {nm} May 27, 13:58

This is Lord and Miller again, so precedent for $60M. Look at SPA for comps not Pixar or DWA. {nm} May 27, 14:05
Again, what Disney spent is completely irrelevant. {nm} May 27, 15:00
Again, LEGO did it for $60M without looking like STV crap. {nm} May 27, 15:40
