The big companies sometimes don't report all the money they spent on movie making. They do that so they could make the film look more profitable than it actually was, or to hide losses in case the film was unsuccessful. For example, in 2016, when it became obvious that his Ghostbusters remake would make much less money than he expected, Paul Feig started claiming that the budget was much less than he said earlier. But despite his efforts, the film still ended up as a box office flop.
