money laundering

Tim Allen has lots of cocaine to buy

The voice actors. Tom Hanks doesn't come cheap. It's why everything outside of the movies uses his brother's voice instead.

They could do this with AI for a couple bucks. Little kids don't know the difference. But these movies are watched by mentally ill adult children who can't stop reliving their childhood and when daddy fucked them in the ass.

>>221395379
Unironically unions. Instead of one guy for a task you need to hire one guy + fourteen parasites for that same job.

>>221395379
this means nothing unless converted to inflation
1: 67M
2: 181M
3: 297M
4: 262M
5: 250M

I would genuinely want to know for real. I'm sure a $25M budget movie wouldn't be that much worse than a $250M. Where is it going?

>>221395379
expensive voice actors

>>221395585
and their brown overlords

since hollywood accounting is a thing you can't trust those numbers anyways.

With the right prompts and enough time, a single untrained person could crank out a new Toy Story movie using one cell phone. That's mind blowing.

>doesn't adjusts 5 for inflation
Lying much, faggot?

>>221396367
Toy Story 5 just came out retard

>>221395614
>and their brown overlords
Yes, we know theyre American...

Seriously though why do movies cost so fucking much to make? What are they paying for?

>>221396430
all of those actors need healthcare and benefits. its literally welfare for untalented jews.

>>221396465
but who fronts the studios the money?

>>221395379
Alright I'll explain the reason the costs bloated so much.
1. Inflation. Obviously inflation is a contributor to this trend but as pointed out here >>221395564 this doesn't at all explain everything as the costs have still skyrocketed regardless.
2. The Actors are getting far more. Animated films were once considered cheap work for actors who's just go into a recording session alone and get all their lines recorded for a day. But now they expect the same paycheck for a job that easily far less intensive than an onset job
3. Tech bloat. As the tech infrastructure continued to be built for these CG movies the process to make them look more and more realistic required more and more infrastructure just to produce. It also killed any reason for the aniamtors and tech artists to optimize the movies simce the bigger infrastructure just compensates for it.
4. Rising taxes where these studios are located. The fact pixar is located in California and has to be ludicrous taxes for their films given the "carbon footprint" thry create is another contributor.

>>221396430
Because there are hundreds of people involved in the creation of a movie who all get paid at varied rates. Toy Story 5 has over 500 people in the credits.

>>221396502
investors that need jewish favors

>>221395485
Why are animated movies using A-list voice actors when any literal who can do the same job? It's not like the kids can see their faces or would recognize them. That's on top of kid movies being dubbed overseas

why are there so many retarded people in this thread

>>221396430
Because the stuido gets money from investors, most of that movie goes right back to the studio, while a fraction of the budget is spent on actual above the line expenses.
If you got 100 million for your last movie, and it did well, then you can go back to the well asking for 150 million, then 200, and on and on. The film-making hasn't gotten more expensive (quite the opposite), so you just keep paying yourself back.
As long as your movies aren't perceived to be commercial poison you can keep playing the same trick until you can't.

>>221395379
250 millions to not know if you're against technology or not.

Fucking lel, empty movie that can't make up its mind and has to change the goal post every 15 minutes

>>221396569
That doesnt even make sense nor doesn't sound ethical. Who came up with this nonsense?

>>221395443
>>221395406
both? and inflation. TS series is how old now? ok maybe not so much inflation.
TS1 would cost about 65.5 million buckeroos in today's USDs.
>>221395485
yes. should have hired old skool VAs for cartoons.

So what I am getting from this thread is actors are throttling the industry.

>>221396529
>3. Tech bloat. As the tech infrastructure continued to be built for these CG movies the process to make them look more and more realistic required more and more infrastructure just to produce.

in any other industry the tech gets cheaper and easier, why is it the opposite in film now?

What isn't ethical about it? The studio has operating costs, they've always done it like this.
The only difference is once the MCU turned into a money printer and you could regularly count on 500 million to a Billion dollar theatrical runs you can easily go to people for MORE money.
Every major studio saw this, and realized they could launch their own cinematic universe based on a known IP to do the same thing.
The good news is that its a self correcting system, it has happened before, budgets balloon bigger and bigger until it becomes mathematically impossible for a movie to make enough money to not be a commercial failure. Then big studios start going belly up, and in an attempt to survive they'll sell off everything they can, and be forced to finance modest budget movies made by people who want to make movies for a specific audience, occasionally there is a breakout that makes money, and you start financing the director, and the cycle starts all over again.

>>221395379
I guess 100M was the cutoff point where these started to become shitty

>>221396367
Kill yourself retard

>>221396769
>why is it the opposite in film now?
Its not. There is just so much more of it on such a wider scale.
When they made jurassic park you could count, in frames, how much CGI was in the movie. Now its in fucking everything.
Also you get shit like when marvel made end game and infinity war, they pretty much utilized every single rendering farm in the world to make those movies because almost every single scene had some computer effects in it.
And since they bid everything out to the lowest bidder it means actually working in those farms is less than minimum wage when you count in the crunch. So no one in that industry just gets burnt out, so you don't have a lot of institutional memory.

>>221396805
>The good news is that its a self correcting system
unfathomable reddditor tiered comment wtf are you on dude
the amount of ignorance it would take to actually believe this in the current era is astonishing

>>221396926
nothing you just said made any cognizant sense or directly addressed what I said
you're jsut saying non-connected words trying to sound smart and likeyou're making a point
everything should be cheaper and better, its not, you literally can't explain why

Illumination movies usually only cost 100 million max. even Mario with its cast, and those look better than Pixar

>>221396926
>There is just so much more of it on such a wider scale.
we're talking about a single film here retard
why were 12 dudes in 1994 able to create much better cgi for pennies on the dollar compared to now?
why does it take 100s of 'artists' to produce work that's 4% better looking than in the 90s but 10x more expensive?
you literally are just babbling

>>221395379

Its happened before anon.
I know you choose to believe on intergalactic conspiracies that exist to target (You) specifically, but its basic economics, its a bubble.

>>221397319
if you think we're still adhereing to basic economics and the concept of bubbles in the current era, you're a fucking retard, this isn't complex and you're clearly not paying attention, well educated or posses basic pattern recognition
you're an ignorant, midwitted reddditor at best

It is a self-correcting problem. Hollywood slashed 50% of union jibs in past two years.

>>221396769

Not really. The consumer market is cheap for tech but the industry tech is ridiculously expensive since it's more niche and specialized. Professional equipment costs tens of thousands of dollars.
