In Reply to: $37 million for the cost of J&SBS? posted by VinnyM27 on September 09, 2001 at 22:26:24:
Boxofficemojo.com lists the total cost for the picture at an estimated $37 million in its Weekend Box Office section. Total cost meaning production budget, which the site lists as $22 million, plus marketing and prints which is being estimated at $15 million (below the industy average of $25 million). Hence the $37 million. But it is kind of funny coincidence given the significance of "37" in the View Askewniverse.
There's an explanation of the "Est. Cost" column at the bottom of the boxofficemojo.com Weekend Box Office charts. The link below is for the Jay and Silent Bob page breaking down the Daily and Weekend business, which lists the $22 million production budget.
