From the same article - now praying this film is a hit, because I hate the tone of the following, who the hell are these execs across town and what the hell have they made that will be remembered in 20 fckn years, the audacity of these folks:
But executives across town believe Warners' math sometimes doesn't add up, with the studio decried as fiscally irresponsible. The Anderson film, for instance, was greenlit with a $115 million budget, according to sources. Underscoring the gamble, none of the director's movies has crossed $80 million at the box office. His latest, 2021's "Licorice Pizza," made $33 million worldwide. Even with Cruise's star power, "Magnolia" only mustered $48.5 million. (It was De Luca, then a New Line exec, who convinced Cruise to play "Magnolia's" misogynistic self-help guru.) The pair are said to be less pumped about another auteur's latest: Bong Joon Ho's "Mickey 17." In January, Warner Bros. pulled the $150 million Robert Pattinson sci-fi starrer from its schedule and then moved it to 2025. A Warner rep insists: "There is, of course, enthusiasm for it."
