And the first two movies already made roughly 2 billion dollars, and the third will probably make the total over 3 billion. So a decent investment overall. In general I can't fathom the production costs of movies anymore.
When you expect to take in over $3 billion on theater tickets alone for the trilogy, $745 million isn't that much. They've almost quadrupled their money and that doesn't include merchandise and DVD sales.
Dont forget that India's mission to mars project cost a fraction of a single Hobbit movie or a fraction of Gravity's budget.Seriously Hollywood needs to cut down the budget of their big movies and start doing some social service.

**** that. If I spend $1500 on a gaming PC, that money could have had a lot of real-world value to some poor family. That'd be a nice contribution to some poor kid's college fund, and could potentially buy the family a used car so that they don't have to spend 3 hours on the bus every day.
But do you know what? It's my money and I'd rather spend it on a sweet gaming PC. And unlike Hollywood movies, that's just a hobby. These movies are how people make their living. These are their JOBS, this is how they put bread on the table.
I actually really enjoyed the first two movies I just thought the pacing was a little of it parts and they ended at awkward moments, besides that I liked them. Looking forward to seeing the third.

yeah they made their money, but that has to be the most expensive trilogy ever. I don't think Star Wars or anything similar comes close
Wow is that including promoting it too? like I can't imagine how much money they spent on commercials and stuff like that too... but if its pulling in a billon in sales lol guess its worth it ;)

No. The estimated costs of a film that's released to the public usually doesn't include promotions, merchandising, movie tie-ins, etc. That's an entirely separate budget altogether, and depending on the movie, the costs for that alone can start around AT LEAST $100 million, and that's per film.

CGI man. You want the best so you hire the best. And it takes a lot of man hours to do that stuff.

Any way you cut it, the movie will have doubled the investment when it's all said and done.
