It takes a considerable amount of money to pay
for a movie ticket these days, but let’s think about
the copious spending people behind-the-scenes
had to do to get their movie on the big screen in
the first place? The cast and crew not only put in a
lot of effort into making their movie a hit, but
they also put in a lot of money to make their
audience’s viewing experience is worth the dough
they’re putting in. Here are ten of the most
expensive movies made ever. You may recognize
a lot, or even all of these!
TOP 10 MOST
EXPENSIVE MOVIES
FILMED..

1. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN:
At World’s End, $332 million
The third film in the Pirates of the Caribbean
series came out in 2007 and is still is the most
expensive movie ever made. We’re still trying to
figure out if it was Orlando Bloom’s hotness,
Johnny Depp’s IDGAF attitude, or Keira Knightly’s
badass-ness.

2. TITANIC, $286 million
Academy Award-winning director James
Cameron’s beloved 1997 epic starring Leonardo
DiCaprio and Kate Winslet was a film that was
based on the historic 1912 disaster when the
real Titanic ship sank. The movie won the hearts of
many people of all ages. To this day, many will
stare at you in shock if you say you haven’t
seen Titanic.

3, AVATAR, $280 million
Another James Cameron winner, the 2009 sci-fi
film starring Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana
averaged nearly $300 million. The Chicago Sun-
Times adequately reported,
“Once again, [Cameron] has silenced the doubters
by simply delivering an extraordinary film. There
is still at least one man in Hollywood who knows
how to spend $250 million, or was it $300 million,
wisely.” -Roger Ebert.
Agreed.

4. TANGLED, $260 million
The charming 2010 Disney film that portrayed the
tale of Rapunzel and her prince, Flynn, on their
wild adventure that in the end taught young
audiences about the importance of sacrifice and
that beauty isn’t about what’s on the outside. It’s
about compassion, loyalty, strength, and above all,
love.

5. SPIDER-MAN 3, $258 million
The 2007 Marvel Entertainment superhero film
starred Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James
Franco. It was their final film appearance in the
series, but they definitely made it count. Now we
have the new The Amazing Spider-Man with real-
life couple Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone (yes,
their chemistry is adorable!)

6. Harry Potter and the Half-
Blood Prince, $250 million
The 2009 fantasy film follows the young, powerful
wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) through his
sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardy, when he finds a book that is the property
of “the Half-Blood Prince”, and sets off on a quest
to discover who this prince is. The Harry Potter
films have held a place in many fans’ hearts, young
and old, so it’s no surprise that J.K. Rowling’s series
spent a good deal to keep up their reputation as
one of the best series of all time.

7. John Carter, $250 million
The 2012 sci-fi action film is about a Civil war
veteran on Mars who finds himself a prisoner to
aliens and while escaping, ends up committing
himself to save a princess. Seems pretty legit.

8. King Kong, $243 million
The 2005 remake of the 1933 film went bananas
on spending. The movie kept the same era, the
’30′s, and followed the journey of an “overly
ambitious” filmmaker and his cast who went to
Skull Island, captured the massive gorilla Kong,
brought back to NYC, and sadly destruction
ensued. A lot of work went into recreating this
classic Merian C. Cooper jungle film.

9. The Chronicles of Narnia,
$225 million
The C.S. Lewis story was brought to life
successfully, totaling over $1 billion dollars in the
box office for the three films. It wasn’t easy to
create the films at first-Lewis never sold the film
rights to his Narnia series, but after Lewis’ stepson
and co-producer of the film Douglas Gresham
saw what the computer-generated imagery (CGI)
for the animals would look like, the approval was
given, and the films became a huge success.

10. The Avengers, $220
million
Marvel Entertainment went above and beyond
expectations with the 2o12 superhero action film
that presented the Avengers, a team made up of
six incredible superheroes who save the world
from catastrophe altogether despite risky
circumstances. They not only protected millions of
people, but they earned the respect of millions of
viewers. Spending for a good cause really does
save the day.

This is incorrect and outdated
SPiderman 3 has a budget of 258 million dollars
WAterworld has a budget 266m$
Spiderman two has 250..

Research properly before you post

John Carter has to be the biggest flop on that list!

Wow, that's a lotta money to invest... That's why they always come out dopee.
Ermm, why would a cartoon cost so much?
