Then there was probably another 50 mill or so put into the marketing and advertisement on top of that

It's possible that that 300 million budget is already accounting for all the marketing expenses. Skyrim's budget was 100 million, of which ~15m was marketing.

It's possible. But I know in the film industry they will sometimes spend just as much on marketing as they did on making the whole damn movie now. And their budgets are generally reported separately
