The Hypothetical Blockbuster Budget title card

In using the budgets of actual +200MM blockbuster movies as references, this video excludes non-human costs and reflects an approximation of the take-home pay of all humans involved, based on average union rates.

Disclaimer: Please note that not every budget breakdown is the same, and some roles are subject to wider fluctuations than others. This is here to serve as approximations based on a hypothetical film which has never been made.
