Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Alex]

Tangled had something like seven years of abandoned development before they started on what finally turned into the movie. Did all those sunk costs get included?

They filmed Pirates 2 and 3 as a single production, how'd they split costs?

I would emagine they have a work order for each scene they shoot, and which film it was for. I'm sure costs were very carefully monitered for for each work order and script, and if something like catering were shared, the cost could be split (by head perhaps). Just a guess.
