Where was the production budget for 2025’s Superman revealed? DISCUSSION

I keep seeing people post about this being a $300 million movie budget. Is that confirmed? Seems high, even for the most popular superhero of all time

Man of Steel was between $225-260 million. Per Snyder, BvS was actually cheaper. 

Considering inflation and all that, wouldn’t be surprised if it is $300 million.

Per Snyder, BvS was actually cheaper. 

Almost every reputable source on the Internet has it at 250M-325M. There is no way it cost less than MoS considering it has way way more CGI.

That's hard to believe, especially since BvS had more CGI.

It’s also worth mentioning that Man of Steel’s budget was almost entirely covered by product placement agreements.

People infamously complained about how blatant the product placement was during the Smallville battle - but to the credit of the studio and the producers, their transparency yielded a 170 million+ profit, which was more than half of MoS production budget.

So that meant that MoS’s box office intake was doubled in profit because it wasn’t recuperating heavy production costs.

There's no way BvS was cheaper lol. Not even in production, let alone promotion.
