How much did this film cost?
 

I can't the budget anywhere.

i heard from some sites(not official) that munroe says it's in the 40 million range.
I dont think i ve heard an exact figure though.

The budget is around 30 million dollars

"We were able to bring the film in at $34 million," Gray said. (By contrast, the budget for Pixar's "Cars," which was created entirely in-house, is estimated at $120 million.)

Everyone's also forgetting about marketing costs. Those TV ads and radio spots cost bookoo bucks too. That's also added in with the production cost. This is why it's important for it to do well domestically. Once this weekend is over that's the biggest step.

It really should'nt be hard for them to earn a nice profit for this--even if it doesnt hit 100 million on the dot.

I'm worried that they haven't spent enough on publicity. Not so sure what it's like in the USA, but there hasn't been a lot of hype about the movie here. Normally there's a lot of publicity for the kid's Easter movie (BK/Macdonald's toys, posters, radio slots, TV featurettes etc), but I've only seen a couple of trailers on tv. It's not like TMNT didn't have a huge fanbase in the UK - the old fans are talking and getting excited about it, but there's been bugger all advertising.

Yea I agree...I'd say that overall, there wasn't very much hype put up for the movie..the previews themselves weren't shown in great numbers until this month, whereas with alot of movies, the previews are showing up a couple months in advance...even in theaters, the preview was hard to come by...I woulda much rather sen the preview plastered all over the place but I know that costs $$$

thought I heard kevin say $20 million.

:o Thats hardly nothing at all compared to other cgi movies. If thats what it cost then they will easily make that money back

Still, there's something to be said about making a quality movie, letting it "sneak" (so to speak) into theatres and letting patrons discover it for themselves. Let it be the surprise of the season, if that's its destiny.

Well, its page at IGN is the most popular one as of right now. And I have been seing enough TV spots, I'm sure we'll be well off.

Back on topic, I'm pretty sure it was somewhere around $35-40
