Costner Profited Big
Costner may have added a few million dollars to the film’s budget, but he more than compensated for it. He put in $3 million and expects to make more than three times that amount in profit. Following the film’s box office triumph, Costner began to see money pour in like a flood. The actor may make up to $40 million in profit! It’s a good thing he gave them $3 million.
The Oscars Loved It
We’ve gone over some of the Oscars’ technicalities and the awards this film got, but we haven’t gone over everything. Would you have imagined that this film was nominated for three Academy Awards, including some of the most prestigious? That year, Dances With Wolves took home honors for film editing, sound, and cinematography. That’s quite an achievement considering the amount of time and work everyone put in to make this as legendary as it is.
