If You Already Thought HBO’s Westworld Was Crazy, Then Wait Until You Learn These Mind-Blowing Facts

Raise The Budget

HBO/Westworld

Westworld already breaks the norm for regular TV shows by being shot in such a cinematic way. It also pushes boundaries by not conforming to regular budgets. It isn’t a blockbuster movie so you wouldn’t expect for the first ten episodes to have a budget of $100 million, but it did.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the pilot episode received 25 percent of that budget. That means one episode cost more to make than some of your favorite low-budget movies. HBO is all in on this series.
