> Hollywood's Most Expensive Movies
Bookmark topic
Movie budgets are getting bigger and bigger, but spending millions to produce a film is no guarantee it’ll be a box office success.
King Kong will grace the silver screen for a third time today. But rather then set the studio back an estimated £5.8 million (2005 pounds), as Merian C. Cooper's original did in 1933, the latest remake will cost more than 20 times as much. Production costs alone on Peter Jackson's version were £117 million, making it the sixth most expensive film ever made by Hollywood.
The average cost of a Hollywood film was almost £34.7 million in 2004, nearly double the average cost from a decade earlier, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.

King Kong (2005) $207,000,000

That goes to show that you don't need over inflated budgets to make good films.
