The Elden Ring movie reportedly has a budget of nearly $200 million. According to The Wall Street Journal, that makes Alex Garland's adaptation the most expensive film A24 has ever made, and by a wide margin.
Key facts
- Director and writer: Alex Garland
- Studio: A24
- Reported budget: nearly $200 million (WSJ)
- Previous A24 record: Marty Supreme, about $70 million
- Filming: wrapped in July 2026
- Release date: March 3, 2028
Why is the Elden Ring movie budget such big news?
As reported by IGN, The Wall Street Journal cited sources putting the budget at "nearly $200 million." The figure has not been officially confirmed. If accurate, though, it marks a major shift for A24.
A24 built its name over the past 14 years on smaller, artistic films. Its most expensive movie so far was Marty Supreme at around $70 million. Garland's Civil War cost roughly $50 million. Elden Ring would cost almost three times the previous record.
How does $200 million compare?
That puts the film in blockbuster territory. IGN notes that Spider-Man: No Way Home cost about $200 million and Jurassic World Rebirth about $180 million.
- Elden Ring (A24): nearly $200 million (reported)
- Spider-Man: No Way Home: $200 million
- Jurassic World Rebirth: $180 million
- Marty Supreme (A24): about $70 million
- Civil War (A24): about $50 million
Earlier reports placed the budget at just over $100 million. So either those first numbers were off, or the budget grew during production. Neither A24 nor Garland has commented.
The WSJ report also frames A24 as a studio others now want to copy. Major studios are chasing online horror properties in multimillion-dollar bidding wars, and Universal is backing a big-budget film from the Everything Everywhere All at Once directors. Elden Ring is A24's biggest bet in this new era.
Who is in the Elden Ring movie cast?
A24 revealed a strong cast earlier this year. It includes Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman, Tom Burke and Havana Rose Liu. Actor and Dark Souls superfan Peter Serafinowicz also has a role.
Insider Gaming, citing The Hollywood Reporter, says principal photography was planned to take about 100 days. Nick Offerman has also signed on for the fourth Sonic the Hedgehog film.
Filming wrapped in July. Leaked set photos suggested faithful recreations of some iconic locations from the game. No official images or trailer have been released yet.
What does it mean for Elden Ring fans?
Elden Ring is FromSoftware's 2022 action RPG, with world-building by George R.R. Martin. Insider Gaming says it has sold more than 36 million copies. The Lands Between, its huge bosses and gothic tone are not cheap to put on screen. A big budget suggests the studio is taking that world seriously.
Game adaptations keep gaining momentum. We recently covered the collapse of the Xbox and Netflix deal, and big projects like the Minecraft movie show how far the trend has come. If you never played the game, our Elden Ring beginner guide is a good place to start.
