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

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($250 million)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was arguably the most action-packed and tense books of the entire series, and the movie adaptation did not disappoint. Not only was this the most well-marketed Harry Potter film, but it was also one of the most immediately exciting for fans to see. This movie set a box office world record for the biggest single-day success of any movie ever, and within the same week, it broke the biggest 5-day success record as well. In total, this movie grossed around $934 million, which some industry investors call “market wizardry.”
