MI3 and Star Trek both had budgets of $150M and were well-known franchises. Super 8 has a budget of a third of those.

For the life of me, I cannot understand the reasoning behind the price of this IPO.

 

I get far more of a "Cloverfield" vibe than MI3 or Star Trek from this one.

 

 

Not sure why SUPR8 is priced so high... the cost of Super 8 film couldn't be that much so this will be a cheap movie to make. {nm} secretstalker May 14, 03:52

They had to pay high-dollar at several antique/pawn shops across the country. {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 May 14, 04:27

Is this gonna be a sequel to Joel Schumacher's movie 8mm (1999) with Nicolas Cage ? {nm} joeoftexas May 14, 05:54

Sequel to Motel 6, we'll leave the lights on for ya commercial {nm} TheSureThing May 14, 10:01

I know i'm in the minority, but i agree with their logic. Abrams + SS. Can't see this opening below 30 {nm} Moviesnob May 14, 06:15

Abrams opening weekend average is $61,473,781 {nm} Moviesnob May 14, 06:16

His first movie starred Tom Cruise and his second movie was Star Trek... do you think this movie has the draw of either? {nm} secretstalker May 14, 06:44

Again, I'm not saying it going to open like a blockbuster. Also, Marketing is calculated off projected revenue, not cost. {nm} Moviesnob May 14, 07:53

To me, it looks cheap and with a $40-50M budget, it sounds cheap. Could be wrong, but that's my opinion. {nm} Hooray360 May 14, 08:02

Cloverfield opened with $40M. In January. On a very modest budget ($25M). With no franchise to build on. {nm} drweir May 14, 09:11

seems like we're had this conversation before... {nm} click999 May 14, 08:03
