Deadline stated, however, that if the film’s production cost was really closer to US$180 million instead of US$110 million, the film could be looking at a loss of more than US$100 million.
While the movie’s stated budget is US$110 million, Deadline said some sources claim the actual cost to make the film was in more the US$180 million range.
Entertainment news website Deadline reported on Wednesday that Paramount Pictures’ live-action Ghost in the Shell film is tracking with a US$60 million loss.
Deadline said that its estimate of a US$60 million loss is based on an estimated total earnings of US$200 million for the film (US$50 million domestically and US$150 million internationally), with a combined P&A (print & advertising) and production cost of the film being around US$250 million.
