That seems extremely excessive for something that will likely be terrible.

They probably make this much in an hour from either the marketplace portion or AWS.

I guess Amazon wants to have a film for christmas and the first one grossed $288 million worldwide + Paramount probably payed Eddie and Arsenio good money to reprise the roles.

I was wondering how much it cost to get Eddie and Arsenio to sign on for this sequel.

It might be terrible but the original is a classic so they will easily make their money back.
