Joker was made pretty cheaply as well. Not sure what sort of payday Phillips and Pheonix got from that making over $1 billion. But obviously that films success and WBs need for an unnecessary sequel basically meant they could name their price to return ($20 million each apparently), plus I mean Lady Gaga wouldn't be cheap, and I believe they shot for quote a bit longer that really adds to the budget.
