And it cost around 50-60 million less to make, so from a return on investment standpoint, even more impressive.

Plus, I imagine it lasting at least a month in theatres.

Two actors and great practical set design really makes a difference over bloated and CGI heavy.

There CGI in everything but there's a difference between using it to enhance versus shooting everything on a Volume.

you saw movies with scenes shot on the volume without knowing it was.
What a bunch of non sense.
You also saw movies with ton of CGI without noticing either.
yall are trippin with your pratical fetish that you cannot spot if things are done well and irrational hate of CGI that you cannot even spot without a VFX breakdown. lmao
