Justice League's budget has been reportedly revealed and it is a lot more than Warner Bro's was initially planning but that may not be the worst thing. After changing directors (from Snyder withdrawing due to a death in the family), extensive reshoots, and digitally removing Henry Cavill's mustache which he was contractually obligated to shoot with due to his contract for Mission Impossible 6, the budget has now swelled up to a whopping 300 million. This is also without factoring any additional fees for marketing but I have a feeling that Justice League won't come close to what was spent on Batman v Superman hefty campaign. It is also important to note that the current tracking for the Justice League release is set to debut lower than Batman v Superman, it's poorly reviewed predecessor, and Suicide Squad on top of having been shrunk to having an under 2 hour run time. The argument here is that the shorter run time will contribute to repeat showings and coupled with the lighter tone, hopefully audiences will be inclined to see it more than once. While the budget certainly puts the pressure on the latest Dc film, the success of both IT and Wonder Woman have positioned Warner Bros to have a fairly good fiscal year. The film is set to debut November 17th so look out for reviews as they come between now and early next week.
