Yeah NM has a bigger budget than Twilight. The owners of Summit Entertainment said it somewhere in a interview. They should spend every bit of it in the special effects....and learn a bit or two from the Harry Potter movies or smth before they spend it.

Well unless they have changed their minds, it was only going to be 50 million for the budget - gee, how generous guys.Vanquish wrote:Yeah NM has a bigger budget than Twilight.

I'm not holding my breath, but maybe CW can pull a rabbit out of his hat and outdo everything. We'll see.

They spent 37 million on Twilight. I googled it. And lol the budget for the first harry potter movie was 137 million....Hawaii214 wrote:80Millin?...Wow!how much did they spend on twilight?
hmmm.. is all I can say. Maybe SM should've waited until her books got bigger to sign on a better production company than Summit...because Summit said that it will never spend that much...in an interview. "Its not going to sell out like the big companies" they said ...or smth like that. I can't remember.
But hmm....

Well I am not so sure more money = a better movie in all instances. I mean sometimes, I think the movie companies just waste a lot of that money and it's actually really ridiculous. When there are people homeless and starving in the world and we are trying to find a cure for cancer or AIDS and companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on entertainment, there is something wrong with that. Don't get me wrong, I love movies, but I don't think they have to spend nearly as much to make them. Also, I think that the movie really helped to make SM's books even bigger. I support her decision to go with Summit and I think New Moon will be great. Well, at least that's what I'm hoping

Re: New Moon Movie Take 4...and a half
I agree. I would like to think that any other production company would have been better than Summitt, like maybe Icon Entertainment. idk.Vanquish wrote:They spent 37 million on Twilight.

From what I know, MTV films had the rights first and turned them over to Summit. I think I might have been happier with MTV.
