I honestly don’t think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.
100 million budget. It’s almost a million a minute and you think they slap stock animations for close up plot points and run the risk of having 5% of the audience going “those number are silly wtf am I watching”?
No shit. The fraction is not: “google image, upscale, good enough but the alien finger that point at the same screen will get 6 hours to render using 50% of the elecricity of texas”.
Only a handful of movies like Avatar gets actual effort put into fully custom fake interfaces, where the producer has a big vision. But even most other blockbuster releases don’t get that. Fast & The Furious with a dozen movies in the series? Nah. Anything where what’s on the screen is just filler will simply not get a big budget for interfaces. Even for big budget movies.

Yes, absolutely. The big bucks are for A-listed actors, executive producers and gigatons of cocaine, not nerd fan service.
3D effects will get a much bigger fraction of the CGI budget than some random animated chart

That’s literally what stock animations exist for lmao
They exist for fast or budgeted productions.
I feel dumb just having to argue that.
