Part 3/11:
While initial reports placed the budget of "The Marvels" at $200 million, industry insiders suggest that the actual expenditure could have ballooned to $300 million due to extensive re-shoots and re-edits. The film's troubled production timeline started early in the year when test screenings failed to garner positive reactions, prompting significant reshoots that visually and narratively diverged from the original cut.
This behind-the-scenes chaos—delayed release dates, reworked scenes, and a disjointed final product—only compounded the problem, making it unlikely for the film to break even. Based on current trends, analysts estimate the movie will need to gross $800-900 million globally just to turn a profit, a feat highly unlikely given the current reception.
