October 24, 2026
The Elden Ring movie adaptation by A24 is reported to be their most expensive project yet, with a budget near $200 million, potentially surpassing the studio’s previous high-cost film.
The $200 million figure, cited by The Wall Street Journal, would top A24’s previous record-holder Marty Supreme, which had about a $70 million budget.
A24’s prior high-cost project Marty Supreme is cited as a benchmark, indicating Elden Ring could be roughly three times as costly.

Production visuals and set recreations have surfaced, signaling a faithful world adaptation, though official images or trailers were not yet released.
As of the report, no official images or trailers have been released, with development details kept guarded and set photos circulating online.
Confirmed cast includes Kit Connor, Tom Burke, Rose Liu, and Nick Offerman, contributing to a strong ensemble.
The piece places Elden Ring within a broader trend of big-budget video game adaptations expanding into film and TV, alongside titles like The Last of Us and Fallout.
Past A24 fantasy efforts like Death of a Unicorn and The Green Knight showed artistic appeal and streaming audiences, though box office performance was modest.
The article notes potential reasons for the high budget while stopping short of confirming exact financial projections, highlighting anticipation within a loyal fanbase.
Despite the hefty budget, the project hinges on strong source material and Garland’s involvement, with opportunities from established popularity and creative risk.
WSJ frames A24 as a model others are trying to emulate, with online horror properties and major studios pursuing similar high-budget, IP-driven strategies.
