The Reality Check: Actual Budget and Costs
Soon after, reputable industry outlets like Forbes provided more comprehensive estimates, confirming that the costs were significantly higher. According to Forbes, The Marvels had a total production spend of approximately $274.8 million by September 30, 2022. This figure accounts for the entire filming process up to that date, including multiple rounds of reshoots.
Furthermore, the article noted that Disney received a $55 million UK government subsidy for the film’s production. Factoring this subsidy, the net expenditure from Disney’s perspective drops to around $219.8 million. However, the total cost to produce the movie—including ongoing post-production and additional reshoots—likely exceeds this figure.
