Shahab Hosseini: Actor known for his roles in films About Elly, A Separation and The Salesman

In general, major studios don’t disclose the full budgets for their films (production, development, marketing, and advertising). This mystery arises in part because it costs far more to make and market a movie than most people expect. For example, the production budget for a summer blockbuster like Marvel’s "The Avengers" is estimated as $220 million. Once you factor in marketing and advertising costs, the budget spikes.
