32 years ago Jurassic Park was made with a production budget that's the equivalent of approximately $125 million today. What changed that studios now need a production budget that's basically double that? How is it twice as expensive? Movies aren't twice as good.
Bigger teams, more sets and locations and/or way more CGI. Higher paid actors as money up front VS risking Hollywood accounting. They still make moves at all budget levels.
>>215522940Jurassic Park was a massive production with an enormous team that utilised practical and CGI effects and shot on numerous locations across Hawaii and California and on sound stages too. It's as big a production as the big ones today and the movie looks better than most big productions filmed today too.
>>215522940Jp's cgi was experimental and state-of-the-art. They developed new techniques on the fly. It should have cost more in relative terms than what comes out now.>>215522834The real reason is bloat and movie by committee to avoid responsibility for failure. We need visionaries willing to take risks.
Studios are retarded and fucked themselves by all but eliminating the concept of residuals. Now talent demands much higher wages up front because they want to ensure they actually get paid.

>>215522940why do you need bigger teams? the movies aren´t better so where does the additional manpower demand come from?

>>215522834You underestimate the importance of a director and the crew that surrounds him. Spielberg was so skilled that he knew exactly what he wanted and didn't waste any time and/or money getting it. Even Schindler's List, released the same year, had a quite modest budget despite all the extras employed and their costumes and other WW2 production design elements, etc.
