List Of Most Expensive Films
Due to the secretive nature of Hollywood accounting, it is not clear which film is the most expensive film ever made. '' Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides'' officially holds the record with a net budget of $378.5 million (although it is possible that '' Avatar: The Way of Water'' costs more if its price tag is towards the upper-end of its reported $350–460 million production costs), while ''The Hobbit'' trilogy stands as the most expensive back-to-back film production, with combined costs of $623 million after tax credits. Inflation, filming techniques and external market forces affect the economics of film production. Costs rose steadily during the silent era with '' Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ'' (1925) setting a record that lasted well into the sound era.
