I think if you look at the cast it does look very expensive, I doubt you were getting Lawrence for less than 8 figures this time out, McAvoy & Fassbender maybe around the same number, easy 7 figures for Hoult, Turner, Chastain & Evan Peters maybe more if re-shoots exceeded an agreed upon time permitted for them.

Also comparing it to last stand, given inflation Last Stand would be a $275m budget today, so yeah they spent like the equivalent of $75m more on Last Stand than Dark Phoenix, and depending on how much they had to redo the movie that ups the cost whilst reducing the quality meaning instead of lots of VFX through out they would be better suited using it more as needed instead of just going ah look pretty like sometimes blockbusters will do.

was going to bring up the cost of cast and inflation but you handled it.

Also cant forget the infamous Hollywood accounting, you know the money they spent fucking with the Gambit movie was slipped into the budget of this somehow, same thing happened to MOS & Superman Returns which inflated the budget on both of those movies quite a bit iirc, that and paying that weird producer who demanded a robot spider and is adamant the sword goon from the 89 Batman made that movie $100m for that one scene, movies are so bloody odd.
