PRODUCTION COSTS FOR FILMING:

Not too long ago I wrote a blog about how much it cost, for the final filming. editing, cutting etc of THE WALKING DEAD.

$23,000 per minute.

Let me update that 'a lot' for a feature film. The average cost for filming a feature Hollywood film is now in excess of

$100 million bucks. Then you've got to add the cost of Advertising and Printing of additional copies plus insurance etc.

That is yet another $100 million. So the average movie is about 2 hours, or 120 minutes. If you've got a big calculator

that goes up that far, Divide 200 million dollars by 120 minutes and you know what you get? What it cost per minute,

when this 200 million dollar film finally is released.$166,000 PER MINUTE. THAT IS CORRECT NOT A MISCALCULATION.

And you wonder why popcorn and a coke cost what, about $11 bucks or so. Most of the money you pay to get in the movie

goes to the producers of the film, a very small amout goes to the theatre owners.

Would you hire a beginner for anything in this film, so you can do a few do-overs?

I didn't think so.
