Just from the several images we've seen over the past few weeks, showing the Northern Quarter of Manchester as it transforms into 1940s New York, we see that Marvel Studios & director Joe Johnston are going to great lengths for Captain America: The First Avenger, and it's 1940s accuracy.
One might ask the price of having a few false shopfronts constructed with several other props to give the "Manchester" sequence, which consists of a dramatic car chase along with a simulated explosion, great accuracy. Well Mike Fryer of Captain America Filming in Manchester / Frostbite blog, says that he spoke to a security guard while unloading a classic prop you can see below, and he told him the entire sequence will cost approximately $26 Million alone.
According to Box Office Mojo, the budget for
Captain America: The First Avenger overall, is an estimated $140,000,000. What do you think?
