This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.Aug.25

[Hand of Evil]

Topical Thunder holds off the House Bunny, Death Race comes in a weak 3rd.

 

[Mark]

Any guesses on the budget for The Clone Wars?

Damn shame. Death race was very good.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Any guesses on the budget for The Clone Wars?

Nothing published but I would guess about 50 Million, TNMT from last year was 34, Space Chimps was 37, hold on, but Wall-E was 180 (holy crap! no big names voices), Kung Fu Panda was 130 (double crap, number of known voices).

Dang, it looks like it could be anything from 40 to 200!

 

[Mark]

That's quite a range. If this is a preview of an upcoming series, they might also have built some of the series expenses into it, in that, to keep the limited budget of a television series acceptable, they might have done some of the more expensive innovating for the movie, so that they can just "clone" the techniques more cheaply in the series run. If that makes sense?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

The House Bunny & Mirrors? Yet another two I've nae heard of.
