The filmmakers, spending crazy amounts of money on the picture, want to not only please the audience, but also earn twice as much. After all, the more spectacular special effects, the more star actors in the picture, the more beautiful and richer their outfits, the more likely the box-office success of the tape is. What is the most expensive movie in the world and what is its budget? Let's try to identify the five leaders in this category.
"Pirates of the Caribbean"
Gold in the list of the most expensive paintings belongs to the adventure film "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" Mount Verbinsky. The budget of the picture amounted to as much as $ 300 million, having fully paid for itself at the box office with a box office of 950 million. What caused such an overwhelming success: the magnificent game of Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley or exciting special effects? The answer to this question remained behind the scenes. In any case, the efforts of the creators of the picture were not in vain. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the most expensive film in the world and in the history of Hollywood at the moment.
Avatar
James Cameron contrasted the cash success of Mount Verbinsky with the equally talented science-fiction picture Avatar, which $ 237 million was spent on creating.
The film about the blue-eyed inhabitants of the planet Pandora was released on large screens with a triumphant figure of 2 billion 780 million dollars, leaving far behind Verbinsky's Pirates and deserving the title “The Most Expensive Movie in History” at the box office worldwide. Cameron's large-scale project was shot in a new digital 3D format using revolutionary directorial technology that allows you to see the game of live actors simultaneously with computer characters in real time.
Spider-man
Part 3 of the fantastic blockbuster Sam Raimi “Spider-Man: The Enemy in Reflection” earned bronze in the amount of budget funds spent - $ 258 million due to the use of hitherto unseen special effects. The film, finding itself at the box office, collected a record figure of 890 million bucks, justifying its budget 4 times. The exciting battle of Peter Parker with Sandman, Black Death, Green Goblin and with himself rightfully earned the highest audience sympathy score. Spider-Man is the most expensive movie in the world by internet voting rating and one of the box office blockbusters of all time.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
One of the high-budget parts of Harry Potter - The Half-Blood Prince - requested 250 million to create, becoming another brilliant work of Warner Bros. Corporation.
The sixth book of J. Rowling about the fascinating adventures of the wizard Harry Potter and other inhabitants of the Hogwarts school was transferred by
David Yates to the screens using the latest tricks and exciting special effects. The film in an exciting fantasy style fully met the wildest expectations of its creators, collecting gigantic box office in the first 24 hours - $ 104 million worldwide.
"King Kong"
Peter Jackson's adventure melodrama about a giant gorilla, not devoid of a penchant for romantic feelings? - “King Kong” - takes an honorable 5th place in the ranking of “the most expensive films in the world”.
The budget of the picture is 207 million, the cash amount at the box office is 550 million dollars. The gorilla's aggressive love for an attractive girl performed by
Naomi Watts was liked not only by film critics, but also by the general population.
The honorary title of “the most expensive film in the world” does not determine the artistic value of the film and does not guarantee its viewing in one go. After all, the tidy sum of the budget and successful box office does not mean that the tape will leave a mark on the history of world cinema and in the heart of spectators saturated with various plots, as well as the fact that it will become another mediocre picture that will quickly be lost in the mass of the same type of “sisters”. Therefore, after hearing about the fabulous cost of a blockbuster, do not rush to buy tickets, it is better to familiarize yourself with the actors and the announcement.
