World’s Most Expensive Movies

In order to achieve a Hollywood blockbuster, 99% of the time you will need a huge budget dear “lazy penguins”. There is this 1% where a cheap production might deliver a successful movie, but most of the times the word expensive is synonymous to successful. We had to check our friends’ list at IMDB and put together 20 of the most expensive movies ever made! It is funny to see that these huge blockbusters have spent at least 200 million USD for a movie (and made 3 or 4 times that amount) – I wish I was an actor, so I could get a piece of that pie. Maybe I should give it a go and cast for Penguin movies, what do you think?
