2024 $40M Echo
2023 $141M Loki S2
2022 $147.9M Moon Knight
2021 $150M Hawkeye
2021 $150M Loki S1
2022 $150M Ms. Marvel
2021 $150M The Falcon & the Winter Soldier
2023 $212M Secret Invasion
2022 $225M She-Hulk

The budget for most MCU films is ~$200 million, so most of these are a little bit less (ok $50 million less), but importantly this aligns with all the talk about the TV shows being treated like films.

I'm also curious how a film budget vs a TV budget breakdown.

I can only guess a shit ton of money was wasted unnecessarily. Like, if you have a $200 million dollar budget, you spend $200 million.

Where did they spend $150 M in Hawkeye?

I guess I remember one big outdoor chase scene, but generally I feel like someone embezzled $10 or $20 mill. Loki? Sure. Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Yeah, that had a bunch of locations and high-value actors. But seriously, how would one spend $150 million on Hawkeye? No disrespect, but I didn't see that on screen.

I wish I did. I unironically love Hawkeye.

I can only assume they produced (and ran for several years) the entirety of Rogers the Musical and just played the one part in the show.

But seriously I have no idea.

That is really funny!

You know, that stage show actually did run at Disneyland for about two months. What if that's actually it? What if they just used the budget from Hawkeye to underwrite the stage performance and call it "Marketing and Promotion" without having to dip into the theme park budget?? That actually doesn't sound too crazy to me.

Incidentally: my husband went to Disneyland to see Rogers! The Musical and said it was quite good.

Oh my God! I had no idea they developed a 30 min musical. It looks like there are recordings on YouTube so I'll have to give it a watch.

What about Ms marvel that had no big names very little big scenes and the effects were pretty basic. I have no idea how much it costs to film stuff but I feel like I could have made that for 50 mil.
