It looks so low budget, like even lower then Lifetime movies. M3GAN has a similar settings and cost $12 millions to make. Yes. TWELVE.

Did they pay Tom Hanks 20 millions and 10 millions to director and had only 20 millions to actual shooting?

This movie will not get more then 15 millions at the box-office. So whoever gave money - will lose 35-40 millions.

Stop giving such crazy salaries to those "Hollywood stars". Movie star is dead, they dont get people to theaters by their name. Yet they still want to be payed millions for crappy boring movies.

This looks like an indie movie.

Hollywood accounting is notorious for inflating the budget.

Tom Hanks would have been paid well.

Marketing costs a fair amount of money on global scale.

The rights for it cost 60 million.
