Quote of Note: The Crow (1994)
Officer Albrecht: “Police! Don’t move!”
Eric Draven: “I thought the police always said ‘freeze.'”
Albrecht: “I am the police, and I say don’t move Snow White. You move and you’re dead.”
Draven: “And I say I’m dead, and I move.”
The budgets of top-grossing movies over the years
These are a sampling of the budgets of the highest grossing movies over the years. I didn’t realize that Star Wars had such a comparatively low budget, about $41 million in today’s dollars. To put that number in perspective, this summer’s Olympus Has Fallen movie about terrorists at the White House had a budget of around $70 million and the comparable to Star Wars Elysium of around $100. And Elysium is a movie that’s been referred to as having a lower than usual budget for a sci-fi summer movie.
I guess the moral of the story is that budgets keep going up and up and there seems to be no end in sight.
