It seems that Hollywood these days is more interested in big fiscal returns than it is in quality output, and it’s common knowledge that to win big you gotta spend big. Here, we break down the most expensive Hollywood films ever made.
Filmmaking is not for the faint of heart – or the shallow of pocket. After all, busting blocks at the box office doesn’t come cheap; movies that are specifically made for the big screen tend to have the most astronomical budgets. They’re not necessarily the best ever made and it seems sometimes the quality of the movie is inversely proportional to its actual worth. But, chances are, you have seen at least half of the movies in this list in the theater. Adjusted for inflation, here are the top 10 most expensive movies ever made
