According to Variety, The Crow had a $50 million production budget before prints and advertising.
The Crow made its digital streaming debut via premium video on demand on September 13, a day after the film ended its theatrical run.
Fuck I hope Hollywood finally realises that they have really hit the the bottom of the barrel regarding remakes. Also, some sequels or whatever-quels have been hit and miss.
They need to focus on new fresh ideas, something new. Unfortunately they have to do something that is much harder now and that is not playing safe with proven IP. Make new IP, what ever gets the right team to be consistent with new movie ideas, maybe like Studio A24, will be in blue waters not fighting over the nostalgia against each other.
maybe like Studio A24
Hollywood: instructions unclear. Purchased A24 and set it on Avengers multiverse reboot
I literally feel there is a Hollywood exec that has done a line of cocaine and said exactly that
In the original, Eric and Shelly were normal people we could relate to and the other actors and scenes felt real. Now we have a hot-model couple and bad guy archetypes, all in a "gritty" world that doesn't resonate with us.
As an aside, crime was looking pretty damned bad in 1994 and we thought The Crow was a near-future reality.

You god damn loch ness monster! Get away from ma movie!
The story had feeling of being written by committee. I think that was it's only real problem.
In felt like it had been written by AI. I'd be saddened to hear that a human made any major contribution to that.
a general rule of thumb is that advertising budget matches the production budget. sometimes it's half, sometimes it's even higher than production (for smaller movies usually). so this movie probably cost $100 mil.
Pretty much. With Borderlands they appear to have realised it was a hot mess and they cut the marketing budget hard to try and manage their losses.
they should hire me as consultant for videogame movies so i can nip it in the bud. apparently I would have been the only one going "hey that game has no story and whatever approximation of one that it did have didn't go anywhere and had no conclusion, maybe that won't make the best movie"
It was certainly a movie.
This person isn't one of my usual YT watches, but I really enjoyed this overview of The Crow related media. I had no idea the series ran so deep, or had so much nasty Weinstein influence.
Its a shame, there's so much potential in this series that our media apparatus is systematically incapable of making good on.
