A conference room table featuring a Lego model of a city, a film reel, printed charts, and a large screen displaying production details for The Lego Movie.

The Lego Movie was the first theatrical feature film produced by Warner Animation Group, and the first animated film to be made directly by Warner Bros. Pictures after Warner Bros. Feature Animation shut down in 2004, following the box office failure of Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003). The film's total cost, including production, prints, and advertising (P&A), was $100 million.[7] Half of the film's cost was financed by Village Roadshow Pictures, and was the only film in the franchise that Village Roadshow ever had involvement working on.[7] The rest was covered by Warner Bros., with RatPac-Dune Entertainment providing a smaller share as part of its multi-year financing agreement with Warner Bros.[43] Initially Warner Bros. turned down Village Roadshow Pictures when it asked to invest in the film.[7] However, Warner Bros. later changed its mind, reportedly due to lack of confidence in the film, initially offering Village Roadshow Pictures the opportunity to finance 25% of the film, and later, an additional 25%.[7] Ver mais
