Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo have revealed just how high day to day costs were on both this movie and Avengers 4 so get your calculators out because these movies cost a bomb.

A couple of years ago, we heard that Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 had a combined budget of $1 billion. While we've since heard that the former cost Marvel Studios around $300 million to make (making it one of the most expensive movies of all-time), the Russo Brothers have revealed that the average cost of production on a day to day basis was upwards of $450,000 - enough to buy a house!



"The cast gets all of it," Joe said when talk turned to the budget in the video below. "We give most of it to Downey," Anthony added, poking fun at the huge sum Marvel Studios pays Robert Downey Jr.



"It does break down that way where the cast does get a big percentage of it. These movies have been incredibly successful, there’s 18 of them, and typically as movies succeed, the cast can get more expensive," Joe went on to explain. "The VFX are incredibly expensive on a movie like this, well into the hundreds of millions. So between those two, those are the largest categories that take most of the money. Then there’s just the day-to-day running of a production that can be very expensive."

Both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4, "shot for a year straight from January to January with about two weeks in-between," Joe said, revealing that it took "350, 400, 450,000 a day just to keep the production running." He then confirmed that they still ended up going over budget with Anthony admitting: "The irony is like no matter how much money you have, at some point you run out of money. So it’s pretty crazy." Joe adds that, "It really is like a sprint to the finish, these movies."
