Top 7 most expensive movies ever made — From Star Wars: The Force Awakens to Avengers Endgame
Directors go the extra mile to give the audience a visual extravaganza. Be it the sci-fi genre or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these movies have not only shattered box-office records but have also gone on to become the most expensive films ever made. Motive: all to ensure that fans get the experience of a lifetime. As per IGN, these projects are the most expensive blockbusters ever made.
JJ Abrams made the Star Wars franchise the favourite of a new generation of fans with The Force Awakens. The 2015 film brought back iconic characters such as Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). The film also marked the entry of characters like Kylo Ren, Rey and Finn.
Chris Pratt's 2018 installment in the long-running dinosaur movie franchise managed to grab attention with its CGI effects and bloodthirsty prehistoric creatures. The movie was made on a budget of $432 million.
The final movie of the new Star Wars trilogy, the massive budget of The Rise of Skywalker, revolved around the Resistance members facing off against the First Order once again. The movie starred Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Issac in pivotal roles.
This was the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie without Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. But the massive budget and Johnny Depp's chemistry with Penelope Cruz kept the movie in the headlines. The movie had a budget of $379 million.
The second movie to feature the six original Avengers together, Age of Ultron was one of the most expensive movies in the franchise. The film starred Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth, among others.
Be it Tony Stark's ultimate sacrifice to win against Thanos or the 'I love you 3000' dialogue, this movie remains the high point of the Avengers franchise for many fans. The massive scale of the project and the star-studded cast created a film that Marvel fans would remember for ages.
James Cameron is best known for big-budget movies like the Titanic and the Avatar franchise. The second part of the series, The Way of Water, was mounted on an equally large scale as the first part. Avatar: The Way of Water later became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, earning $2.3 billion globally.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the most expensive movie ever made, with a budget of $447 million.
Avatar (2009) by James Cameron is the highest-grossing movie of all time.

Anil Kapoor is ‘jhootha no 1' says Pahlaj Nihalani, slams him for calling Andaz B-grade film: He was desperate to do it
Filmmaker and former CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani, who produced the 1994 film Andaz starring Anil Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and Juhi Chawla, has hit out at Anil for calling the film a B-grade production. In a recent interview with Vickey Lalwani, Pahlaj criticised the actor for making the comment and also accused him of lying about objecting to the controversial song Khada Hai from the film. (Also Read: Pahlaj Nihalani rubbishes Govinda's claim of being offered James Cameron's Avatar: 'Uske dimag ka disc ghum gaya') Pahlaj lashed out at Anil for calling Andaz a B-grade film and said, "I know of this interview. I told him off also once. He called Andaz a B-grade movie. Woh tarasta tha iske liye (He was desperate to do it). Karisma begged me to be in it. People were desperate to work with me at that time, and Anil Kapoor was one of them. He's done so many B-grade movies in his life, how can he say that he did Andaz for money?" When informed that Anil, in an interview, claimed he wasn't informed about the song Khada Hai and even objected to it, Pahlaj said, 'He's jhoota number one. This never happened. He must've heard the song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' 50 times before we shot it. He'd say, 'This song will make our film a hit.' Only Juhi Chawla had some issues with the song. But Anil Kapoor was crazy about the song and was sure that it would be a superhit. He's spreading lies and defaming me. I've never made a B-grade movie in my life!" Directed by David Dhawan, Andaz was an action-comedy that also featured Kader Khan, Raj Babbar, Shakti Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, Ishrat Ali, and Mahesh Anand. Though the film was a commercial success, the song Khada Hai drew criticism for its double-meaning lyrics. Anil Kapoor is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film Alpha, which is part of Aditya Chopra's YRF Spy Universe. The film also stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead roles. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha will be the seventh instalment in the spy franchise, following Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, and the upcoming War 2, which is slated for release on 14 August. Alpha is scheduled to release this Christmas.
