Why Did 'Secret Invasion' Cost More to Make Than 'Oppenheimer'?
The Big Picture Does a big budget make a good project? It’s an important question, but it has a simple answer: no. There are plenty of low -budget films that have received great reviews, like The Blair Witch Project, Rocky, and the award-winning Moonlight. More so than money, films need good writers, directors, and actors to succeed.
Looking at July’s box office, Barbie and Oppenheimer have naturally dominated. It’s hard to imagine anything else happening after all of the Barbenheimer hype and memes that took over the internet for months. While they were both wildly profitable, with Barbie already becoming Warner Brothers’ highest grossing film, they surprisingly had rather small budgets, with Barbie costing $145 million and Oppenheimer even less at $100 million.
Over twice the cost of Oppenheimer and $67 million above the cost of Barbie, Secret Invasion didn’t look as polished as either film and didn’t even come close to the viewership of other Disney+ Marvel series. People began wondering where that money was going, given that the series’ quality didn’t match its budget, and it has people claiming that Marvel must be running some kind of money laundering scheme. While that’s a very interesting theory, it’s highly unlikely.
What Gave 'Secret Invasion' Its Big Budget? However, CGI probably isn’t what gave Secret Invasion its massive budget. It actually used it rather sparingly for a Marvel title, with the lack of use of makeup and prosthetics for the Skrulls being explained away in the show and justifying the cost-saving measure. Though, this fact doesn’t do much to dispel rumors of money laundering. In fact, it only makes you further wonder where that money was going.
