Yeah, that makes sense. If you look at the California tax incentive filling you’ll see Mercy only has 25 cast members, 90 crew members and more notably only 212 total days work for background actors. Compare that to ABBBJ with $18/16M “QE” spend w/ [27/120/760] on production size numbers. The most comparable films in terms of crew size with a similar or larger QE spend are 2010s Larry Crowne (Hanks) and King Richard (Smith) both of which had 50 instead of 30 day shoots.
So for that ~$60M you have $20M BTL in california + Pratt/Ferguson, etc. costs [>$20M given Pratt’s star power] + lots of VFX work (seemingly mostly done in India by DNEG).
If you only look at the reported budget and California BTL this seems high v. comps but that stuff above is why you’d expect it to be above a “I know nothing about the film” average.
The trailers did a good job making the film appear bigger than it really is (hence the $100M rumors).

Oh yikes.

At least it won’t lose too much. I guess.
This is going to be War of the Worlds level bad. I predict somewhere between 3-5% on RT.
I knew that 100M guess was b.s. The trailers showed a cheap looking film.
It’ll have to make 150 million
Lmao, no way does this get close to the 100m ww it probably needs.
It looks really cheap
Damn, 2026 started and we already have two flops in a row.
