Seems like a rather expensive decision to make for a movie, though. I wonder if it will be worth all this money they put into it.

This was my initial thought, but a decent blockbuster could actually cover the expense. For example, Avengers: Endgame grossed $357 million on opening weekend. It's a lot of money, but it could easily cover a few people going to space. A seat on Bezos' flight was sold at auction for $28 million, to give some comparison.
