Budget Notes

After being originally budgeted at about $79 million (Variety, 9/8/2008, p. 30), Where the Wild Things Are eventually cost about $100 million to make, thanks to reshoots. The total cost to the production companies, however, was about $80 million thanks to foreign tax incentives (see L.A. Times, 10/15/2009). As is our practice, we use the pre-incentive production cost, in order to most accurately reflect the work that went in to making the movie.

Premise

The film concerns the imaginary adventures of a young boy named Max, who is angry after being sent to his room without supper. He then creates a forest inhabited by many large imaginary monsters, who crown him their ruler.
