Yip Us film producers spent $307 million in NZ making Avatar, we the taxpayers funded 44.7 million of that, still small price to pay IMO, as i love the film industry coming here, so many films are made here now, it is awesome,we want to encourage that not discourage it.
It looks like it cost around $507 mill all up, but figures are not in yet.
60 per cent of the film comprised visual effects were created by Wellingtons Weta Digital here in NZ.
Yes Richard i guess when you do the exchange rate it might well work out less, never thought of that, we do have discount rates, on Tuesday nights, $10.00 and if you buy a special card you can get movies for that price for a year, it cost $15.00 for the card and you get a free movie, so i got one last year for my hubby's birthday, we still have not used it yet, as we don't go very often,it recently went up to $18.
Dvds are good, they rent at $4.00 per new release.
Anyhow while i am here, tossing up whether to see Its Complicated, or Did you hear about the Morgans, which is released here next week, i am a huge fan of Hugh Grant, but loath sarah Jessica Parker, anyhow if anyone can tell me if they have seen both and which one they preferred ,be helpful, i am a big fan of romantic comedy's,i gather both might fit into this category.
UPDATE:
Did you hear about the morgans, had a really bad review,said it was rubbish, and don't waste your money on it,so that made my mind up for me.
Have just seen Its complicated, great movie, so much fun, you were right Donna, worth going to see, and i had free tickets as well, never really liked alec baldwin, but loved him in this movie and was a change to see steve martin in a different type of role, and meryl well she is always the greatest in every movie she does, yep really good entertainment, must say hubby was the only guy there though,so i guess it is more a chick flick 7/10 from me.
❤️❤️
