Again, LEGO did it for $60M without looking like STV crap. {nm}

Posted by: Antibody on May 27, 15:40 in response to chosenone2oo5's post It's a CG/Marvel comp. I'm saying, for a superhero CG...

HH: According to my sources, Miles Morales will be the Spider-Man in [ASPDR] Antibody 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} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 12:15

Disagree, this is a kids movie for those growing up watching Ulimate Spider-Man cartoons. {nm} Antibody May 27, 12:18

Does that audience reach wide enough to apply for earning back a ~$120M+ CG budget, or is that just the Peter Parker Spider-Man? {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 12:39

Where you get $120M? LEGO cost $60M and more than made back its budget. {nm} Antibody May 27, 12:47

Lego Movie's budget is definitely an exception, only Illumination film budgets are sub-100 million for major studio wide releases {nm} notfabio May 27, 13:50

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

this is absolutely more Lego than Pixar {nm} Moviesnob May 27, 13:58

Depends on their angle of approach. "The Lego Movie" was supposed to look like room-sized Lego sets. This should look better than "Megamind" chosenone2oo5 May 27, 14:00

This is Lord and Miller again, so precedent for $60M. Look at SPA for comps not Pixar or DWA. {nm} Antibody May 27, 14:05

"The Lego Movie" was Warner Bros. Animation Group. It's an outlier, literally. SPA ranges from $78M-$110M, point still holds. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 14:15

P.S. The last CG theatrically released Marvel/Disney film, "Big Hero 6," was budgeted at $165M. Despite Lord/Miller, $60M is TOO LOW. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 14:17

Again, what Disney spent is completely irrelevant. {nm} Antibody May 27, 15:00

It's a CG/Marvel comp. I'm saying, for a superhero CG film, if you don't want it to look like complete STV crap, but a FILM, it's $100M+. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 15:19

You're talking about rendering Lego bricks compared to organic characters & a wide variety of other textures & colors not exclusive to Lego! {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 15:49

Yet LEGO still looks better than Cloudy/Meatballs or Hotel Transylvania films, whose characters also look plastic, rather than "organic".. {nm} Antibody May 27, 16:00

"Toy Story" cost $30M. "Toy Story 2" cost $90M. "Toy Story 3" cost $200M. I wonder how much "The Lego Batman Movie" will cost. Again, scope. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 19:32
