Twice the cost of the 2002 movie?

Making a movie is always expensive, and most people don't want to work for free. If we allow for inflation in the 10 years between Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man, it's not that unreasonable that the latter film would be more expensive. As well as paying the actors and the extras, the rest of the money had to go to many other people and departments. Don't try to read the list in one go. It's not complete BTW:

Ah, what the heck, here's a link:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0948470/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

Yeah, it's weird. Some of the effects in TASM are better (some of the effects in SM were always weak) but the action scenes overall are equal or slightly better in SM.

My guess is that, aside from inflation, with TASM Sony was arrogant enough that they felt they didn't have to hold in the budget much and if they don't try to it gets a lot bigger easily. Sheen and Field are probably at least a bit more prominent than Robertson and Harris although Dafoe was more prominent than Ifans, the other actors seem pretty comparable.

Maybe some of the money went to Maguire and Raimi seeing as they did sign on for Spider-Man 4 and 5 before it got cancelled. Who knows. It also could be that most of the budget came from Spider-Man 4.
