Eurogamer reports, citing the Wall Street Journal, that A24's live-action Elden Ring movie is set to cost almost $200 million. Eurogamer says that figure would make it the most expensive film the studio has ever made. The outlet notes earlier reports in April put the budget at "well over" $100 million, and cites that A24's prior priciest film, Marty Supreme, reportedly cost around $70 million while Alex Garland's Civil War was about $50 million. Eurogamer also says the WSJ framed the story less as an Elden Ring report than as a profile of A24's growing influence, including a quote from Telluride Film Festival director Julie Huntsinger calling the studio a "Goldilocks company."
