I have little doubt that it's going to be proven - years from now - that 50 mil+ of "Acolyte"'s budget went into Headland's personal accounts. This was her "retirement" project, and I - again - have little doubt that we're not going to hear much from her in future. She got her payday and will only release the occasional statement about how "Acolyte" was unappreciated genius and how nothing has, or will ever, be able to equal it.
The grunts, maybe, but the ones creating these budgets... ever hear of 'The Producers' and something called Springtime for Hitler? That's what these crooks are doing. More skim than the cash vault of a 1970's Vegas casino.
It's the total opposite, they have geniuses in their financing departments. The UK government will reimburse Disney 25 to 30% of the total cost of the movies and TV shows made in the UK. Maybe now you will understand why the shows "cost" so much money. Disney are quite literally making content for free...they are actually getting paid by the UK government to make the shows!
@@mikesmithznot for free but they are most likely inflating costs by charging for conveniently ambiguous “creativity” by about what the UK taxpayer will reimburse. But yes it’s genius
This is Producer Malpractice: a list of blown budgets and cost over runs. The Force Awakens had a 150 Million budget but came in at just over 200 Million. Last Jedi had a 200 Million budget but came in at over 300 Million. Rise of Skywalker had a 250 Million budget but came in over 400 Million. Indy 5 had a 250 Million budget but came in at over 500 Million. This practice continues on to the series. Book of Bobafett started with a 80 Million but came in at 147 Million. This should have been the end but the argument was made the shows failure was due to lack of quality caused by too low a cap. Dumbo Disney took off the caps and opened the spend tanks full steam ahead. Now the reserves are running dry and the Producer's Malpractice and career are out of gas. Big B.O.B Iger hopes to find it soon to put it in production of Disney's The Robert A Iger Story: How I Spent My Way Out of Debt to Save Disney.
@solarydays The Producer hires the Director and Writers. While keeping Production on Budget. This Producer Kathleen Kennedy has committed Producer Malpractice on every level. However as confirmed by desperate leaks of unlit Star Wars project's. The Iger Sanctions up until this point have quarantined the Producer and are assessing damage to the I.P.
Disney cant dispute any of this because that requires them to disclose the real amount spent. They'll keep ignoring this and it will only get worse for them.
Valliant, I know your pretty busy but if you read this I wanted to say this reminds me of working in fast food. Something most franchises have in their contracts are "maintenance and equipment fund" clause. It's suppose to be used to maintain and then replace the fryers, the grill, walk-in freeze, and other such things. However, what most franchise do instead is pay some local guy a fraction of what they have saved away, and pocket the rest. They do this because most franchises take a profit-cut, rental cost AND most of the time they have deals with or just outright own the food source. But since the "maintenance and equipment fund" is factored in revenue cost they are able to hide MASSIVE amounts of cash from the profit margins. It's seem like no matter the business, shady shenanigans will pop up at some point.
The Godfather had a budget of $13 million, which is like $20 million adjusted for inflation. And it’s a masterpiece. To spend over half a billion on something like Andor is obscene. Christ!
Compare to something like the Expanse.. which i read was 2-7 million per episode, let's just say 10million and 62 total episodes, 620million with the internet saying total runtime 2828 minutes, let's take 5 minutes off for total of ,let's say 2500 minutes or .248 million per minute. And I suspect that each episode, especially pre Amazon was a lot less than 10million per episode
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment I love Andor, enough to own it on blu-ray. But, 24 million per episode is still ridiculous. They should have been able to fund four seasons using only the budget from season 1.
Yeah but that was back in 1972. Back then actors weren't paid as much as they are now. $20 million today might not even be enough to pay for just one A level lead actor. Leonardo D. is paid like $20-$30 mil per movie. Robert Downey Jr is paid like $50-$100 mil per Marvel film. These are different times. There is more profit in filmmaking today so actors and other quality film service prividers can demand a lot more for their services.
We have seen how bad Disney has become at spending money, but Lucasfilm has managed to trump that and shows they have gotten next to nothing on return on their investment. What ever money they have made over the years is quickly lost due to failed merch sales and everything on top of even more stupidly overspending. If Lucasfilm were stand alone today, they would of financially collapsed years ago.
Now that depends because without Disney they should still be able to make toys and games (?) and that would financially support them probably this is just an opinion I am no legal financial professional.
You'll be suprised how many dummies out there think the studio's get 100% of the boxoffice. They think the cinema's have no bills, cost nothing to run and everyone who works there is a volunteer. Some think they survive on popcorn, drinks and snacks money.🤣🤣
@@geert574 Except in China, which they're all insanely trying to cater to. Over there, the CCP is getting 80% and the studio gets the short money. Oh, but here in the US, the sliding scale means the tehaters get the higher percentage five weeks out. As though any of this crap still has anyone wanting to watch it a month later.
@@geert574 Studios get majority of ticket sales opening week, like almost 100%, I think. Then each week they get less and less until eventually, if the movie shows long enough, the theatre retains 100% of ticket sales. But that only happens with really popular films that stay in theatres a long time. This is why theatres make most of their money off concession sales.
2025 will be an uncomfortable year for Disney at large. The exposure of employment recruitment, Gina Carano's law suit, cutbacks, the big fails....it goes on and on. Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm is suffering losses, a big failiure. Never mind the 'DEI' or culture politics. The expenditure exceeded the creativity and lack of vision. What they domesticated to consumer dissatisfaction, and has led to dismal view/buy rate for Skeleton Crew - post Acolyte.
I think it was originally intended for five seasons. But because the production of the show was taking soo long, it wasn't feasible. So, they decided to go with two seasons.
Unlike a lot of Disney Star Wars movies and shows, Andor was well written, directed, and acted ... probably, if not the best Star Wars universe show to be on air. Its lack of viewership comes from the bad taste fans had from previous entries. It is under-rated and should get more love than it has so far. Is it perfect? No, but it's good nonetheless.
I am glad to see a sensible comment. Yes, Andor is just good and it is not a masterpiece. The show has been affected by recency bias of previous star Wars TV shows
You haven't seen Andor then - it is AMAZING! It is the best TV show I have ever watched It's not at all like what you imagine as Star Wars ... it's more like good "Game of Thrones" ... "prestige TV" (but it exceeds even that - easily) ALL of the actors, even the supporting ones, are elite-level I've watched it all twice through - and watched episode 1 for the third time yesterday ... I noticed the sheer craftsmanship that went into this masterpiece It's time for you to watch Andor and start caring again
I think Disney gets confused. When they were asking the production budget they tell the marketing budget. They didn't spend 250 million making The Force Awakens that was it's marketing budget. There production budget is 2x -2.5x whatever they say.😂
Why another video on this subject? A 5 minute search on the topic should show that companies can claim back 25% to 30% back in tax under UK law. So of course Disney are going to claim their shows cost billions to make because the UK tax payers are funding it! In essence, Disney are making these shows for free, they aren't costing Disney anything. It can't cost more than $50 million to make each show - and they make all that back in tax breaks. They also use those funds to start up a bunch of businesses to make even more money over the long run. You guys need to start digging into the real story.
I like seeing a movie like Sonic winning because Disney continues to express financial strength in contracts with theaters but it clear to the public, theaters, and anyone thinking to invest in Disney that Disney has a lack of financial wisdom and general wisdom that places it out touch with all three groups. Disney / Lucasfilm I the stories and a plan to get in touch with all three groups in a good way. Let me pitch please. Have Hope fans!
I've been thinking about it for a long while now. I think Disney may have cheated Lucas for billions. I may have it wrong as I am not a financial expert, but I would have thought that Skywalker Sound and Industrial Lights and Magic ALONE would have cost 4 billion. The actual rights to the company's catalogue and intellectual property... I would have thought that they would be worth far more. Especially with Star Wars being what I will describe as a money printing machine, particularly through merchandise.
There are many other high quality shows made for much less money. All you need is a good script, actors.... No need for lavish sets. Godzilla - 1 is a great example, done with practical effects and it is a movie, not a TV show and cost so much less money.
@LaraA55 A space fantasy that's not set on Earth PROBABLY requires a bit more money than Godzilla. "ALL you need is--" depends on the genre, and what the story is. My point still stands.
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment For a TV show that hasn't made any money for a company, meaning, there won't be any more shows like Andor in the future, which is what fans want, due to overspending. If you want more shows like Andor, it will have to entice so many new subscribers to pay for it. Remember, Disney only cares about making money, not pleasing the fans. It isn't a charity. And one flaw I saw with the show, it appeared to be set on Earth.
@LaraA55 If Disney cared first and foremost about the money, they'd have gone headlong into "Give the people what they want," instead of garbage like Acolyte or hyping up sequel trilogy stuff when the anger over that has yet to blow over.
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment This comment, I completely agree here👍. Sadly, shows like the Wokelyte and other star wars shows has led to a lot of recency bias, leading to fans tuning out, and Andor not making a lot of money. I know of so many people who didn't even bother to watch Andor despite hearing it is a good show. I have watched it twice, actually. I loved some parts of it, other parts not so good in terms of editing. It is not a perfect show by far but the quality is there in terms of the writing, acting and dialogue. I feel it should have been made into a movie instead of being so dragged out. It would have been a massive box office hit for Star Wars and then it would have justified the cost of spending so much of it. I do feel that season 2 will be so much better and will entice new viewers but due to recency bias, there won't be enough fans. Again, season 2 should have been made into a movie and would be a huge hit at the box office.
If you hate Disney's destruction of Star Wars and M-SHE-U and Indiana Jones franchises what worse curse could you possibly come up with then damning them with years of Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland. If Disney survives KK they should be easily able to survive the next species mass extinction event.
Failure could have been seen when Disney came up with a plan to produce 5 Star Wars and 5 MCU projects a year, year after year.. Even with good writers, you can't maintain quality and attention, and Lucasfilm and MCU don't have good writers on most projects.
Yes thank you for saying that. I don't understand why so many say it's the best Disney crap they made but had projectile weapons like wtf. AKs? Yes really SW That Such a stupid dumb as F COMMIE CORPORATION. And as another commented. CAN WE ALL SAY MONEY LAUNDERING.
Seriously. $645 million for a pretentious post-modern slop show that wastes time on boring BS. Can someone explain to me how Blandor is “peak Starwars” when you have a long drawn out scene involving a jobless 20/30 something getting served cereal and milk from his condescending mommy?
If forbes doesn't want want to be written off by people as click bait then they should stop running click bait stories from click bait writers. Most people don't have time to deep dive every jurno to see if they are legit so for most of us skipping forbes is logical because you never know if it's legit or fake. If I find out a paper runs bs to catch eyes, then that paper stops being worth my time. No exceptions. My time is valuable and I only have so many articles I can read a day, it's simple logistics.
