    Just looked it up, mission impossible’s budget was $400 million.

    God damn…

    For context, ghost protocol which is directed by Brad bird and imo the best one cost $145 million (but 2011 money).

    Even fallout which had Henry Cavill and was the most lucrative cost $175 mil. Wtf is going on with Hollywood these days?

      I think the real answer is that Tom Cruise is funneling a shit load of production money to himself. Why else would you be director, producer, and lead actor in a movie?

      Kind of amazing anyone backed it for any amount of money, the last one was miserably bad.

      it is not normal budget by any means. I doubt that the next parts will cost so much. they say there are multiple reasons for that cost, including the pandemic.
