It's just depressing for a movie lover like me to see a film like Joel Schumacher's 1990 Flatliners remade. Why? Can anyone come out with something we haven't seen before or at least from a fresh new POV.
Recording costs in the music business are borne by artists, not record companies. Record companies commonly make loans to artists (all-in advances) for these costs and recoup them from royalties. With the exception of jazz and classical artists, new major label artists can spend between $100,000 and $500,000 to make a record, but recording budgets of one million dollars and more are not uncommon.
It should also be mentioned that record companies normally charge between $15,000 and $70,000 for the use of existing master recordings in a major studio film but, depending on the stature of the artist, the length of the use, the music budget and how the recording is being used, these fees can be greater or less.
