The
Kodak brochure from "Hamlet"
"As film budgets get bigger, the small increase to the overall
cost of production using the larger format becomes a smaller
percentage...In marketing terms, the added value of the superior
picture quality easily outweighs the small cost increase".
Bob Crowdey, former Managing Director of Technicolor (UK)
Ltd., quoted in "Kenneth Branagh's
Hamlet
on 65mm", promotional booklet published by Kodak Professional
Motion Imaging at the time of release

"Grazer says the decision to make "Far and
Away" in 65mm upped the budget by only $700,000, an inconsiderable
sum for an already high-cost film."
Richard Natale, Variety, 18/5/1992
[Workshop Editors' note: the estimated budget for
"Far
and Away", according to IMDB, is cited as $ 30 million at the time
of release. The additional $ 700,000 to shoot 65mm thus represented an
increase of just 2.4% over the cost of shooting on 35mm]
