22 Jump Street (2014)

I thought I read on the wiki page that Frozen took like 600 people to make...

are advertising and promotional costs included in these numbers?

With a "normal" movie, you pretty much take 50% of the budget (but extra, so it makes the movie 150%) and that accounts for the advertising. Commercials aren't cheap. Especially not a LOT of them. Super bowl commercials are even more.

These CGI don't draw themselves! Looking at some other CGI movies, Rio 2: $100 million, Mr Peabody and Sherman: $145 million, Frozen: $150 million.

Haha I died laughing at that. My theatre literally applauded during the scene where the clock is ticking while waiting on Channing Tatum to get the joke.

Pretty damn funny movie.

Fantastic movie. I haven't laughed this much at a comedy in a long, long time. The entire lunch scene with Ice Cube was solid gold.

Goddamn. Loved it. Just as good as the first one.

saw the bluray, awesome movie just like 21. the end credits are absolute gold. with all the recent shit remakes and reboots its nice to see at least one do it right

theres a 10 second post credit scene too

Honestly it was probably funnier than the first. They handled all the silly meta shit so well, on top of just the flat out funny shit they were doing.

This is Hollywood acting like big government with money. There is no way animated movies should cost as much as movies with hundreds of actors, support staff, real life sets and on location shooting.

I'll watch 22 Jump Street in a day or two. I enjoyed the first. I doubt this will be a much different experience.

Im sure what one I liked more, I do think Ice Cube did a much better job in the second film

Probably has to deal with licensing. You still have to pay all the actual actors. Background people usually work for free or close to it in real movies. Then you pay the animators by the hour (probably expensive as fuck) and it all makes sense. Oh. Then each one of those movies has it's own sound track specifically made for the movie. It really adds up.

The amount of man-hours put into CGI movies is very high, and Pixar has(had?) that anal perfectionist agenda to get it just right, so they re-do a lot of it as the project goes on. Last I checked, every single Pixar movie made a profit, and no one doing live action has that record.

Plus you have to include office space for the animators, hardware, software, etc. Stuff like that adds up. The credits for animated films are CRAZY long.

'23 Jump Street' Is Doing Something With Those Fake Sequels

"We've found a way that we love that makes those imagined sequels canonical and yet does something that we haven't told you about yet. The sequels are canon."

did they scrap the Men in black shit?
