Top 10 Most Expensive Movies Ever Made

10 most expensive moviesIn Hollowood, there is a general rule of thumb that, for a movie to earn big, or to even get attention, you need to spend big. And while this may not always be true, it has been proved time and again by ambitious producers who open up their wallets, and then earn big in return. The film industry is quite a lucrative one, which is why people are ever so willing to invest in large ventures. But not every heavily-funded movie will make it to the top, Here is a list of the top 10 most expensive movies yet. And as you’ll see, some of the most expensive were also some of the top movies at the time of their release.

Over the years, the value of money decreases due to inflation. What you spent two decades ago, and an equivalant sum of money today won’t be worth the same. So a $100 Million released thirty years ago might actually be worth more than a $200 Million movie today. But since there are a lot of factors effecting inflation, it is hard to determine the exact worth of a movie in the past. This is why this list has not been adjusted for inflation. Hence, it sorts movies according to the biggest number spent on them.
