Revised Estimate for Budget

Here's hoping this will have less fighting than previous topics...

An [https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2024/10/03/disney-lost-nearly-a-third-of-a-billion-dollars-on-two-marvel-movies/ article from Forbes] by Caroline Reid (a reliable source per WP:MCUBUDGETS) recently revised the budget for the Marvels upwards to a $374 million gross and $307.4 million budget. Here is the relevant section:

The latest financial statements for Warbird are for the year-ending September 30, 2023, which is just over a month before the movie was released so they give an almost complete picture of its costs. They show that since the company was founded in 2020, it spent a total of $374 million (£307.85 million). Its net spending was reduced to $307.4 million by a $66.6 million (£54.9 million) reimbursement from the UK government and the financial statements say that its cost was "in line with the production budget."

Should the budget listed in the article be changed to fit these new numbers? The source indicates that this is the budget for the Marvels specifically, and the article List of most expensive films has already been adjusted accordingly. Auzewasright (talk) 01:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

:Yes, this has updated details through September 2023 compared to the current source which is through September 2022 so we should replace the current details with the new source. - adamstom97 (talk) 16:25, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

::I agree, and have edited to the page to have the updated budget estimate (with a footnote for the previous estimate that was widely reported). Auzewasright (talk) 21:47, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
