Went to see the extended version of 破·地獄 | THE LAST DANCE today. I think they largely made the right cuts in the theatrical version, but the scenes with 道生 and his half-brother & the backstory with his father could've been kept in, since this definitely gave more insight into the character.

Nice to see the audience (assuming most have seen the theatrical version) still stick around to listen to the theme song at the end as well. I hope Terence wins!!! How many movie theme songs have this power??

Deported (1950)
"Signor Smith, do all of you Americans treat women so, uh... so directly?"
"I wouldn't know. Maybe."
"But why? Have you so little time to spare?"

Reddit User u/aambro flagged this article from 'Columbus Business First' (unfortunately it's behind a paywall) which stated that the new 'Superman' (originally titled 'Superman Legacy' ) movie:
"is expected to receive more than $11 million in tax credits. Superman: Legacy projects it will hire 3,254 Ohio residents, according to the application. The film’s total eligible production expenditures for the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit were nearly $37 million, or a little more than 10% of the film’s total budget of more than $363.8 million."
The user then asked the film's director James Gunn on Threads as to whether or not this was true and that the budget was $363.8 million. Here is Gunn's response:
Tumblr media
Yet this does not appear to add up.
Over on r/boxoffice, user u/SilverRoyce posted this to the subreddit. They, through the usage of public records, have proven that the movie will be made with a total production budget of around $363.8 million; as seen here:
Tumblr media
This means that the movie would have a budget of roughly $270 million+. Now this doesn't include other tax breaks from other places they may film, nor does it include the marketing costs; which would probably be another $100 million+ in total, bringing the total budget to around $463.8 million+. Nearly half a billion for one movie!
Now here comes the tricky part. Breaking even. For the unawares (and include myself in this particular category), breaking even is when a movie makes back it's budget, plus an extra 2.5%. Anything above this is considered a profit. If the budget 'Superman' is around $270 million then it would require $546.75 million in order to break even; and that still isn't taking into consideration the overall production total plus marketing.
If we were to take the $463.8 million into consideration, this would give us the mind bogglingly absurd number of $939.6 million in order to break even.*
So let's say that the movie needs to make $546.75 million in order to break even; is this even possible given the current state of Hollywood? Movies such as Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (both movies I personally enjoyed), underperformed at the global box office in 2023. Has Hollywood learnt nothing from movies having overinflated budgets underperforming last year, or are they that arrogant that they think it was a one off?
This also fails to take into consideration as to whether or not the general audience still cares about a wider DC Cinematic Universe given that the last eight DCEU movies released between February 2020 and December 2023 (Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), were all box office bombs; and given how poorly Warner Bros. Discovery handled the end of the DCEU and how Warner Bros as a whole handled the overall DCEU. It's a reboot of a movie universe, very few people cared about by the end of it all.
Kickstarting a brand new DC Cinematic Universe with a movie that is looking like it will cost $463.8 million in total, is either an incredibly ballsy move or a ridiculously braindead move; and I honestly cannot tell which it is.*
Of course none of this takes into consideration either A) Discovery selling Warner Bros to another studio, or B) Zaslav not playing his old trick of writing the movie off for tax purposes.
Now the latter of those two options isn't likely, but let us, for the moment, entertain this train of thought.
Currently the movie is set to receive $11 million of a total of $37 million in tax breaks from the State of Ohio. Assuming they eventually take the full $37 million and take the full offered tax breaks from other states, plus whatever they got in a tax write off, say roughly $40 million, (the cancelled movies: 'Batgirl' costing around $90 million in its tax write off, 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' whilst no official number has been given we can assume it would've been around $40 million as was its budget, as the potentially scrapped 'Coyote vs. ACME' costing $30 million in a tax write off; giving us the Median of $40 million) the studio would be lucky to make $100-$110 million in a tax write off; or roughly 27.49% to 30.24% of its budget (not accounting for marketing).*
Now I will freely admit to having but little care in this movie and the larger DCU as a whole. I mislike James Gunn as a filmmaker and have little faith in him delivering a DC Cinematic Universe I'll enjoy. Yet he is not my main concern. My main concern lies with the studio itself. With how the DCEU was handled, the abuse the actors faced on the set of the Justice League reshoots, the constant studio interference, the belittling of a paying section of their own audience etc. has left an incredibly sour taste in ones mouth that refuses to go away.
Given Mr Zaslav's penchant for cancelling projects at a frequency that would make the CEO of Netflix envious, one has to ask the question 'Will this new DCU ever see the light of day?'
I know but little of Hollywood accounting, yet even as someone who cares little and less for this new DCU; I am somewhat concerned that Zaslav might be trying to kill this new universe before it ever has a chance to live!
Is this all because the studio is about to be sold off? Or is it because Zaslav is an incompetent buffoon, who is surrounded by lackwits and lickspittles? Or is it something else?
TL;DR: The new Superman movie is going to have a total production budget of '$363.8 million before marketing costs are factored in, despite most movies with inflated budgets that were released last year underperforming at the global box office.
*1) It should be worth pointing out that this number is ridiculous even for the current state of Hollywood Blockbusters underperforming.
*2) Also it bears note that Warner Bros have also poorly handled their other big IPs such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter (see turning 'The Hobbit' into three movies and the entire 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise and the upcoming Harry Potter TV series).
*3)I accept I could be completely wrong about this.
