Recently, a report began circulating online that the budget James Gunnof superman The movie grossed $363 million at the box office.
The movie was filmed in Cleveland, Ohio, a city twice the size of the metropolis, the news was first reported by News5Cleveland.
“According to the Ohio Film Tax Credit Program application, Genesis has a budget of $363 million and is expected to receive $11 million in tax credits from the state,” the report reads.
“The application states that 25 percent of the film will be shot in Cincinnati and Cleveland. It is expected to employ more than 3,200 Ohio residents.
“Genesis” is the code name for superman while it was being filmed. Shortly after the news broke, Gunn responded and debunked the report.
Gunn said on social media: “No God. I wish I had a place close to that!”
He later elaborated: “I don’t know if it was a forgery or if it was just some weird form filled out by a Cleveland office assistant with random stuff in the blanks.
“When it was first released a year ago, I sent it to our accountants and financial producers and no one knew what it was. I can tell you, it wasn’t anyone on our team!
It’s unclear what the actual production budget for the film is, but even if it’s around $150 million, it could end up being around $300 million after advertising is included in the film’s marketing budget.
In any case, Warner Bros. will not give another $363 million production budget. This is ridiculous for any movie.
