    a general rule of thumb is that advertising budget matches the production budget. sometimes it’s half, sometimes it’s even higher than production (for smaller movies usually). so this movie probably cost $100 mil.

      Pretty much. With Borderlands they appear to have realised it was a hot mess and they cut the marketing budget hard to try and manage their losses.

        they should hire me as consultant for videogame movies so i can nip it in the bud. apparently I would have been the only one going “hey that game has no story and whatever approximation of one that it did have didn’t go anywhere and had no conclusion, maybe that won’t make the best movie”
