They are commenting on a report from Radar Online, who is claiming that <I>Spider-Man 3</I> has cost Sony over $500 million dollars to make</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/spider-man-3-the-most-expensive-movie-ever.php">Industry insiders claim that Sony spent $350 million or more on production alone.

That is a bit excessive. That would make <I>Spider-Man 3</I> almost 2.5 times more expensive than <I>Spider-Man 2</I>, which grossed $784 million</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/spider-man-3-the-most-expensive-movie-ever.php">The industry expectations around this latest installment into the Spidey franchise is somewhere around $800 million, so turning a profit is not going to be hard, but one must ask why this film cost so much? Isn’t most of it CG?
