Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Superman Returns" in English language version.
My production budget on "Superman Returns" was $204 million. The approved budget was $184.5 million. We had projected overages for visual effects, and there was a sequence that I wanted that was going to cost an extra $2.3 million. So the hard, honest number is $204 million.
In terms of audience quadrants, Cinemascore gave Superman Returns only a B+ (A- for under-25, but only a B for over-25. So the studio is not getting the wide audience needed for the pic to make $200 mil.)
