Hi all - Hope you had a great Christmas! I think that it will be justified in the long run.... The picture cost $207m (£117m) to make, only $32m (£18m) over budget. He's going to make a mint from it in the long run...take the new KK playstation game for instance.
I'm sure Peter Jackson is not worried right now at all... He maybe thinking "I'm glad i didn't remake Waterworld" though ;-) All the best Andy ----Original Message Follows---- From: Craig Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Craig Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] The King of Hollywood Accounting Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 15:31:42 -0800 At 03:52 PM 12/28/05 -0500, JR wrote: >"Box-office trackers are continuing to predict that, in the end, King Kong will justify its $220-million production cost." > >So, it seems that the "reported cost" of KING KONG keeps rising. Is this just standard Hollywood Accounting reasserting itself in a Big Way, or is this the real cost? If so, then it would appear that this 3-hour film cost more than Peter Jackson's epic 11-hours of all three LORD OF THE RINGS films. If that's what happened, then we have another tragedy beside Kong getting his hairy self blasted off the Empire State Building... > Where does the idea come from that all three LotR movies cost $100 million? More like $100 million each. Probably more than that. (I also don't know where the information on the cost of King Kong is coming from. The numbers do seem to rise magically.)
