I'm going out on a limb here and saying that the $265 million figure you found includes marketing costs. I'm sure that it took $100 million or more to make, but there's absolutely no way that it cost $265 million on its own.

You'd be correct! It was $137 million to make plus $128 million in marketing. There's definitely another lesson to be learned there, but I'm not sure today's publishers are ready to learn it.

For a fun point of contrast, popular Game of the Generation candidate The Witcher 3 cost $46 million to make plus $35 million in marketing. But their situation is a bit unique thanks to actual backing from the Polish government.
