People are a big cost.
People everywhere.
All those names you see at the end of the movie most likely have money in their pocket that came outta that "budget"
Then there's everyone else... advertisers, promoters, the guys that do the movie posters (I know the guy that did Spiderman 2's lenticulars, and I think he's working on the 3's, as well... and they do pay him well) - each having their own subset of people who expect to get paid.
Those of you who feel Spiderman 3 won't need advertising to become another blockbuster hit probably don't truly understand why the first 2 Spiderman movies became blockbuster hits... being a good movie is only part of the equation.
And it's Spiderman 3... a movie that's most likely going to be another 'top 10 box office pulls of all time,' so people are just taking their piece of the pie before the turn.
If the movie's gonna easily clear 600 mil, what's the problem with spreading the wealth a bit among those who created it instead of just using it exclusively to line the pockets of the production execs?
It's not like that 300 mil goes down in some pit never to be seen again... it gets spread all over Hollywood.
