GoKawiilA24's Elden Ring film reportedly budgeted near $200 million, its largest ever
A24's adaptation of Elden Ring, directed by Alex Garland, now carries a reported budget approaching $200 million according to a Wall Street Journal source, up from earlier figures of $100 million and then $175 million. Filming wrapped in July after shooting in the UK and for IMAX, with release set for March 3, 2028. The previous budget record at A24 was Marty Supreme at roughly $70 million.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A budget this large suggests A24 is betting heavily on Garland's track record and the Elden Ring brand to justify a major departure from its low-cost model. Using standard industry break-even math, the film would need to gross around $500 million globally, a bar few video game adaptations have cleared, which could test whether A24's prestige approach scales to blockbuster stakes.
- Reported budget has climbed from over $100 million to nearly $200 million across several reports
- It would be nearly triple A24's previous record holder, Marty Supreme
- Release is set for March 3, 2028, giving over a year for VFX-heavy post-production
