Part 6/10:
The revelation of the true budget underscores a troubling trend—Marvel's film production costs are spiraling out of control. The decision to film in the UK, ostensibly for tax rebates, ironically becomes a double-edged sword, requiring detailed expense reporting that exposes overspending.
These costs are astronomical, especially considering that Disney’s typical model is to recoup about half of global box office revenue, assuming a $600 million break-even point. With Quantumania just cracking the $475 million mark and with only partial returns from various markets, the film likely resulted in a loss upwards of $150–$200 million for Disney.
