A24’s Elden Ring film has a production budget of nearly $200 million, excluding marketing costs. The Wall Street Journal report, citing people familiar with the spending, says the figure would make it the studio’s most expensive movie to date. The adaptation is scheduled to reach theaters on March 3, 2028.

An earlier estimate put the budget closer to $100 million. The newer figure is nearly twice that estimate and nearly three times the roughly $70 million spent on Marty Supreme, A24’s previous costliest film. Before Marty Supreme, Civil War held the studio record at about $50 million. The earlier estimate was also described as a studio record at the time.
Alex Garland will write and direct the adaptation, as he did with Civil War. George R.R. Martin, whose work helped shape the game’s lore, is also attached as a producer. In July 2026, the film’s art and props department wrapped six months of work, with post-production still ahead at that point.
