okgo Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 the Julia Roberts/George Clooney romcom from last year was already quite high and it was "only" like 60m, it was a Universal theatrical release too then again ScarJo (and Penelope?) prob eat up most of that Nancy's The Holiday and It's Complicated had big budgets as well iirc but still.. update 1: apparently its actually $150m update 2: welp! update 3! Warner Bros in talks to acquire it (with a smaller budget) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsouko Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Obscene. Most of that is probably Scarlett's cheque, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleStarmen Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Most of the budget are the actors because om netflix there are no residuals/bonus so they have to charge upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okgo Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 I really thought Nancy would finally have a more diverse cast this time around too (I mean if this is the final lead cast ofc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Couldn’t they get some fresher actors? it’s like the film that came out with Reese and Ashton. I wanna see some new blood, not 2004 rehashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see some new blood, not 2004 rehashes Lots of up and coming/"more recent" actors have been doing romcoms lately too (Jenna Ortega and that guy from Wednesday just shot one for Netflix, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are filming one atm, isn't Zendaya's Challengers movie coming out this yr a romcom too? etc) Edited March 6, 2023 by okgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastChord Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Who's in charge of making these decisions at Netflix? Because why would you approve a 130m film of what's basically a dead genre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent W Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Netflix and Spotify seem to be doing everything possible to be bankrupt. You can pull the same movie with younger and cheaper actors. The only one that might draw a little more viewers is Scarlett. But even then like the amount of money is obcene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
