Is This The New Norm for MCU Budgets?

Simply over a yr in the past, Disney and, in flip, Marvel Studios have been shouting from the rooftops about how their spending habits wanted to alter. This resulted in finances trimming for a lot of the MCU’s streaming fare. 

Many had assumed, on the time, that this belt-tightening would additionally apply to the MCU film, however that doesn’t look to be the case (at the least to date). 

Greater than 50% of the films launched since Avengers: Endgame have all hit that very same $200 million finances mark. The one movies to succeed in above that for the franchise (in response to The Numbers’ knowledge) have been team-up movies—which have considerably increased payrolls because of the sheer variety of actors in them. 

So, what occurred? Why are Marvel Studios’ theatrical efforts not seeing the identical budgetary cuts as different components of the Disney portfolio? 

It’s probably a case of Disney being extra intentional with their spending than slicing it totally. The studio is extra centered on placing cash on issues it is aware of will succeed (one thing the MCU ought to do), as a substitute of greenlighting new concepts willy-nilly.
