"The Matrix Reloaded has already grossed around $365 million worldwide." - http://filmforce.ign.com
Keanu Reeves get's 12% of that because he contributed millions of dollars in the making of the film. The Film only costed $130 million to make surprisingly, so those are huge profits for everyone. I bet in the creators just used all their resources they stockpiled from the 1st film and used it for these sequels... Reloaded sucessfully maintains its stylish look, while making improvements of the amount of action and DETAILS. The amount of time giving to details throughout the movie are very impressive. The Wachoski brothers only get $22 million; yes, that seems meager. Take in to consideration what they are getting for the game, and the royalties they recieve from the soundtracks. As mentioned from filmforce, Warner Bros paid them $5.5 million for the script. Amazing. I'm still shocked that it only took $130 million to make. I guess having all that CG effects saves money on actually building sets, and buying all the camera rigs you'd need for the shots. I bet a majority of that went toward the training for the actors, more than anything. Well, they had to rent the entire city of Sidney (Australia) for goodness sakes. Amazing. Congratualation to Warner Bros. for really knowing how to create a highly sucessful franchise. I think it's safe to assume there will be a lot more sequels in the future...somehow. If it's possible to make Die Hard with a Vengeance, and a new Die Hard 4 in the works now, it's possible to make a sequel to anything. Well, maybe not Titanic. ¶2:50 PM e-mail me (0) comments (0) commentsBack To Blog top September 2002 / October 2002 / November 2002 / December 2002 / January 2003 / February 2003 / March 2003 / April 2003 / May 2003 / June 2003 / July 2003 / August 2003 / September 2003 / October 2003 / November 2003 / December 2003 / January 2004 / February 2004 / March 2004 / April 2004 / May 2004 / June 2004 / July 2004 / August 2004 / September 2004 / October 2004 / November 2004 / December 2004 / January 2005 / February 2005 / March 2005 / April 2005 / May 2005 / June 2005 / July 2005 / August 2005 / September 2005 / October 2005 / November 2005 / December 2005 / January 2006 / February 2006 / March 2006 / April 2006 / May 2006 / August 2006 / October 2006 / December 2006 / April 2007 / August 2007 / September 2007 / November 2007 / January 2008 / February 2008 / March 2008 / April 2008 /
