JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE SNYDER CUT Budget Said To Be $70 Million Following News Of Planned Reshoots

Former HBO Max boss Bob Greenblatt once described Justice League: The Snyder Cut as being "wildly expensive," and with reshoots planned for next month, it seems the budget has now exceeded $70 million...

It was originally reported that the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League would cost HBO Max upwards of $30 million, but former HBO Max boss Bob Greenblatt's claims that the movie would exceed that figure were clearly accurate. According to The Wrap, the four-hour-long feature, which will be presented in an episodic format, now boasts a budget of $70 million.

While it initially sounded like VFX work was all that was needed for Justice League: The Snyder Cut, last night's news that actors like Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot are returning for a week's worth of reshoots in October made it clear that this is a much bigger endeavour than initially suspected.

Clearly, HBO Max believes it's worth the money and that the "series" will drive up subscriber numbers. 

Last night also brought us the news that Ray Fisher is among those expected to take part in additional photography for Justice League. The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Warner Bros. upped its negotiated price for the actor to appear in what was described as a "three scene appearance" in The Flash, only for Fisher to counter with a figure that was double that. 

Needless to say, that didn't paint the actor in the best of lights in the midst of WarnerMedia's investigations into his allegations, but Fisher has taken to Twitter to once again share his side:

Bruh that's the entire budget of some indie films (maybe even more).

Either HBO thinks spending this much is worth it or they got a lot of extra "[frick] it" money lying around.

@Himura - "Indie" films have budgets around 5-15 millions. Your average rom-com from big studios have budgets between 50 - 90 mils (depends on the stars since most of the money is their pay check).

This "Already Exist" but still needs NEW reshoots has a budget of more than an A-List Hollywood drama/rom-com movie just for the reshoots.

Some people gonna make good money from this pile of crap no matter the results.

@L0RDbuckethead - Yeah the logic is crazy. A film that flopped and cost 350 mil is now getting an additional 100 mil of reshots and vfx work done. It makes no sense at all.

THR and Deadline already reported that Tenet is going to be a huge flop because it's going to fail to reach its 800 mil break even point. The break even point of JL's new snyder cut is going to be massive especially with a bigger budget than Tenet.

Imagine the Question series we could have gotten for 70 million [frick]ing dollars.

But instead, WB is spending it on a movie that (we were told) was already complete many months ago.

@Spock0Clock - could have done another joker type movie with that
dracula

Wow this is going to be a waste, could make a Joker sequel or a Bane movie on that.

Seriously add up the original cost and the reshoots and this, no way they will make enough money to make it worth it

@dracula - A Joker sequel makes no sense
dracula

@tmp3 - agree, it isn't needed, just saying it would be better spent on something like that than this.

tmp3 - 9/24/2020, 3:16 AM
@dracula - Why even suggest it if you think it isn’t needed??
aresww3
aresww3 - 9/24/2020, 3:30 AM
@tmp3 - Because it would be more profitable and therefore would be a better investment.

@dracula - Joker's budget was 55 millions. They sure as hell can make another one and still have 15 millions in pocket that they should gift it to Mr. Phoenix as a bonus for his great performance in first movie!

You know what.... I wanna be the one to say it... This is not gonna be worth it.

The Snyder Cut is gonna be as divisive as Man of Steel and Batman V Superman, but even WORSE because Snyder’s ego has been basking in the warm glow of his cult for years. He’s making reshoots for his 3 year old movie that was supposedly finished with that!
