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

Avengers: Infinity War ($316 million)

The predecessor to its more successful counterpart, Avengers: Infinity War has been recognized as the 4th most expensive film ever made and the 4th highest-grossing film of all time. Based on the 1991 comic book “The Infinity Gauntlet” and the 2013 comic book “Infinity,” the Avengers attempt to stop a new (new to screens) threat named Thanos from collecting the Infinity Stones and wiping out half of the population of the universe. Despite the outcome of these efforts, Infinity War did wipe out half the population of every other movie in the box office during its run, Infinity War was the most expensive, and one of the highest-grossing films of all time when it was released, but was later usurped by its successor.
