I would still imagine it not being below 50 million budget, the lowest animation budget I think I seen on big screen movie is like 30 million, but those are not really on the same level as this movie and the higher on the list. I would be very surprised if the budget of this film is not 60-80 million when it comes out. 

But what I'm saying is that you have to consider some of that budget was shared between the movie and the video game. Those cutscenes would've been made for the game, even if the movie wasn't made (but maybe not quite at this quality). The story etc. would also have been written for the game either way, so some costs would've been incurred either way, thus this movie will have a lower budget than what is normal. They also borrowed models and assets from Insomniac, further reducing costs.

 

Also no way it had a 80 million budget. The last full theatrical release Rainmaker Entertainment (the company behind this) made (Escape from Planet Earth) seems like it had a similar budget to this, and that had a budget of 40 million $. No way this is far above that, if at all.

I'll be really impressed at this project having a budget of 40 million or lower, because unlike Escape from Planet Earth, I think they tried some what. Given I understand the collaboration side of it as well, but I still imagine the movie will carry most of the budget between the game and movie on Paper.  

Given maybe I am treating this as Sony Animation Picture and not Rainmaker.
