Film director Emeka Egbuonu added: “On a production the size of Spider-Man, which carries a $200million budget, the daily running costs are immense. Each day of filming can cost between $1.5 and $2million [£1.1m–£1.5m]. Even when filming halts, many of those costs don’t disappear — the crew still need to be paid, sets need to be maintained, and equipment continues to be on hire. It’s a significant financial hit for the studio and puts added pressure on schedules and delivery timelines.”
