The most expensive films over the past 13 years (16 photos)

One can long accuse modern filmmakers of “greed” and “soullessness.” They say that only money is important to them, and everyone has already forgotten about the art of cinema. This is what those who have never worked in this industry think so. After all, creating a film or cartoon is not an easy creative process, but it is also very expensive. Even “low-budget” and “author’s” films require...really a lot of money. Otherwise, the quality will be so low that even the most avid film fan will not be able to watch his film. However, a large budget, of course, will not be enough for the success of the film. For example, many films from this selection...could not pay off and win the love of the audience. But there are also real hits here. So, let's take a look at the most expensive films over the past 13 years.
