Oscar WinnerI’d hope man. I mean it says Nope is 20 mill. Him, Eggers and Ari kinda get thrown into the same category of these new horror films yet Peele ain’t getting 90 mill and he’s more than proven himself. Coogler prolly will get it tho for what he did with blank panther.
Idk white ppl just don’t trust niggas with money
It makes me wonder though cuz at the same time Northman is essentially a big budget action fillm in comparison to the arthouse horror film Lighthouse and s***. Like I wonder how much Peele would get if he wanted to do an action movie, maybe not 90 mill but still
Apr 11, 2022Oscar WinnerFeel me? I’m tryna look up what’s the highest budgeted movie for a black filmmaker. I’m guessing Black Panther? But we already know why that budget was so high.
Actually the costume designer told us at my school that marvel/Disney was stingey with the money especially when it came to the suits. They really only had 1 or 2 suits if I recall (one for the actor and 1 for the stunt dude) and they kept tearing which is why the suits ended up being cgi'd a lot.

Bro it gets worse listen to this
Spike Lee also encountered difficulty in securing a sufficient budget. Lee told Warner Bros. and the bond company that a budget of over US$30 million was necessary; the studio disagreed and offered a lower amount. Following advice from fellow director Francis Ford Coppola, Lee got "the movie company pregnant": taking the movie far enough along into actual production to attempt to force the studio to increase the budget. The film, initially budgeted at $28 million, climbed to nearly $33 million. Lee contributed $2 million of his own $3 million salary. Completion Bond Company, which assumed financial control in January 1992, refused to approve any more expenditures; in addition, the studio and bond company instructed Lee that the film could be no longer than two hours, fifteen minutes in length. The resulting conflict caused the project to be shut down in post-production.
The film was saved by the financial intervention of prominent black Americans, some of whom appear in the film: Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Janet Jackson, Prince, Tracy Chapman, and Peggy Cooper Cafritz, founder of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Their contributions were made as donations; as Lee noted: "This is not a loan. They are not investing in the film. These are black folks with some money who came to the rescue of the movie. As a result, this film will be my version. Not the bond company's version, not Warner Brothers'. I will do the film the way it ought to be, and it will be over three hours." The actions of such prominent members of the African American community giving their money helped finish the project as Lee envisioned it.
It literally took mad black icons for this movie to get the bread it needed. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Prince???
The budget got sold to a f***ing creditor
