A Directors Guild of America event page (12 September 2022) reports Zach Cregger saying on Barbarian that the team put huge storyboards up on set and shot to them, and that a director must be ready to throw all of that out when an actor has an idea. The page is a guild summary of a Q&A, not a transcript, so the quote is a reported claim; it says nothing about how often boards were abandoned or about budget.
