Has Pre-Production On The Avengers Been Delayed Due To Budget Issues?

Do it right. Period. The money will be there after Thor and Captain America.

Kind of like the rumors of people not getting along on the Thor set? We saw how skewed that was.

I smell bullshit. Why would Marvel make The Avengers budget LESS than that of Cap or Thor? That's retarded. And with Disney backing it up? Come on....

God... when will websites stop posting "spy reports" from trolls?

I'm calling the BS police on this, Marvel has been leading up to the Avengers for the last few years they're gonna want this movie done right so they're not gonna skimp on the budget.

I agree Shaman. No way the budget is 300mil. Iron man and Iron man 2 made just above that domestically. Which is probably ball park for what Avengers will do.

juggy4711- EXACTLY!!! People don't realise that most studios need to make DOUBLE their money back to be satisfied. Unless Avengers is released in 3D, i highly doubt their rakings surpass 350mil. At least domestically.

Not really buying this one. Just does not make a lot of sense at this point.






My original Fiction MetaWar Chapter Two

this is dumb. Of course Marvel is going to fork out the money for this movie. This will smash the boxoffices.

Now if they had a Spiderman reboot budget, then I would worry.

Ryden- I believe Spider-Man 1's budget was 140mil. But i could be wrong.

deadpool72- Um... i wish i shared your... dealer, but other than TDK & Spider-man 3's WORLD WIDE rakings, what CBM do you know that actually made those numbers? Why would Avengers be any different? Unless Thor and Cap are any different indication at all, i don't see Avengers eclipsing Ironman 1.

This is BS.

"Do it right. Period. The money will be there after Thor and Captain America."

But that's not really a solution, as Avengers will go into production several months before those movies come out.

Anyway, I'm a little on the fence about this news.It has no source, so it could be BS.But, from what we know of the films, it could be true.

It could be BS because Marvel has been working up to this.They're not going to cheap out on this.

On the other hand, look at how much money they've already spent.

$170-200 million on Iron Man 2
$150 million on Thor.
$140 million on Captain America.
$200+? million on Avengers.
$115 million for the distribution rights(to be paid when Avengers/Iron Man 3 opens)

Iron Man 2 is the only one that's been released and it made $621 million.And don't they also have to pay that $500+ million they got from Merrill Lynch in 2013?

So outside of Iron Man 2 they've basically spent, or have committed to spending a total of about $547 million, before being able to see any return on those movies.That's a big risk.Spending half a billion dollars at once.And on top of that, there's the half a billion dollars they also have to pay back.

I call CRAP! Marvel has given pretty damn good budgets to both IM movies The Huilk, THOR and Captain America. There is no way they would ever dream of bringing these heroes together on a small budget. Besides that, this movie was listed as one of the films with a budget at over $150,000,000 when the news broke (months ago)that Marvel was only planning on doing films with budgets over 150 mil or below 50 mil, nothing in between.

This is Bleeding Cool BS!

This just gets better and better don't it?

What a load of sh1t! Marvel is spending what they're spending on Thor and Cap, building up to The Avengers, getting ready to make movie history by crossing over characters on film... And they'll do it on a small budget? Makes no sense whatsoever! Sounds like DC is getting desperate and starting to spread rumours to undermine fans' confidence in Marvel who has been doing a great job so far.
