Given the grosses of star-heavy comedies such as Tropic Thunder, NATM, and (I am strongly guessing) The Other Guys, I don't know that $100m is that big a deal for a third Fockers film. If it does half of Meet the Fockers' box office during during the same moviegoing season (albeit six years ago...) then it'll still make a profit.

I can understand why they'd be nervous. First off, the teaser trailer showed much of the same from the past movies and the reception didn't appear to make people that excited for the film. Second, looking at the movies being released there is a good portion of the high budgets that didn't do so great and money was lost. I love these guys to death but these outrageously high budgets are ridiculous IMO and are nothing more than stroking egos. They could make deals with these people that if the movies a success they get a so-much-percentage of the profits rather than make the movie have a high budget so they can get $20M salaries regardless how it does in the end. The days of the movie star are changing unfortunately. People are being more fickle than they use to. There was a time that whenever Tom Hanks (or someone similar) made a movie that meant something. Nowadays that isn't the case. Even Will Smith got knocked down. It’s a $100M budget for the 3rd film in a franchise. I can understand why they’d be nervous.
