From 'Tangled' to 'Titanic,' These are the Most Expensive Movies Ever Made

Beauty and the Beast, 2017 ($255 million)

When Disney announced that there would be a live-action Beauty and the Beast coming out, critics and fans were in an uproar over how terribly the story could turn out. Critics wear nostalgia blinders sometimes, and they unreasonably criticize something before it comes out based on personal bias. This deludes themselves and their audiences. Fortunately for Disney, this movie was $255 million well spent, it was granted several international awards and it became the second highest-grossing film of 2017.
