It cost $60 million to make despite only two noticable VFX shots. Does anyone at imdb know exactly why?!! Please send me reasons!

My guess would be salaries.

I agree that Eddie Murphy's salary was the biggest chunk of the cost, Jeff Garlin coming off the popularity of Curb Your Enthusisam must have gotten paid well. Then the cost of the kids insurance etc. but I am also willing to bet that DC Comics charged a pretty penny to allow for the use of The Flash not 20 Million worth, but still I am sure they didn't let it go cheap.

All of the kids were probly twins, (you know, like those Olsen girls). So all the salaries of the kids would have to be doubled, (eg: 1 x 2 = 2).

Yeah.. I heard it took a long time to shoot because kids can only shoot for a few hours at a time I think the max is 6 hours a day. The kids are in almost every scene, too. There was something on the DVD about this.

Eddie Murphy and Anjelica Huston took pretty big checks for it.
That's about 30 or 40 million right there on both of them.
