The production cost for Rebel Moon Part One and Part Two is said to have been $83 million each. The sci-fi spectacle involves heavy use of CGI, which is where a major chunk of the Rebel Moon budget seems to have been spent.
The massive, star-studded cast is certainly a big contributor to the movie’s total cost.

Rebel Moon’s budget was also spent on growing real crops that the farmers would harvest and defend in the movie.
