How much does an average film cost to make?

Answer 1

Since there is no 'average' film, there is no 'average' cost. Notably, accounting for films is credited by some as the most creative writing in the industry, making budgets, expenses and earnings less than clear or concrete.

Films can be made by independent filmmakers charging expenses to their credit cards, and asking their mums to make Sandwiches for the cast and crew's meals.

You can review the site below, for estimates as to the budgets for multi-million dollar industry films, together with their estimated earnings. You'll also see a few 'low-budget' entries in these lists.
