    Budgets in dollars.

    GUMP = 55m approx

    Pulp = 8m

    Shawshank = 25m

    Interview = 60m

    Natural Born Killers = 34m

    True Lies = 115m

    Maverick = 75m

    The Mask = 23m

    Ace Ventura = 15m

    Speed = 30m

    The Crow = 23m

    Films seem more expensive today regardless of inflation, but I’m all for more mid budget, more varied films coming out again too

    Edit: formatting.

      Legend.

      I glossed over True Lies in the original list. Completely missed it.

      Obviously that has the highest budget. Probably half of it is just the F16 set piece at the end.

      What I’ve learned from this list is that period pieces are way more expensive than I thought.

      I assume Interview, Maverick, and Gump are all inflated just due to the historical sets.

      Inflation calculator says a 1990 was worth 2.3 times more, so most of those budgets are still tiny.

      Holy shit, Pulp Fiction was done on $8.5 million. That seems absurdly cheap. I honestly figured it would be closer to Ace Venture, cost-wise.

      Also The Crow and The Mask having matching budgets surprises me. I always assumed The Mask was a more expensive film given the amount of CG work it needed.
