What is the movie that had the highest budget
and
what movie earned the most ?
AVATAR currently holds the record for the most expensive movie ever made, somewhere between $325 – $400 Million. But just wait … with inflation, the cost of movies going up, some day within a few years even AVATAR’s pricetage will be beaten. When 20th Century Fox made CLEOPATRA with Liz Taylor, at that time it had the highest budget of any film ever made: $30 million. Now, that amount wouldn’t even be considered realistic for a major motion picture produced today.
BTW – the highest grossing movie ever made is still GONE WITH THE WIND. The true way to find out which film grossed the most money is by comparing movie grosses Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation.
(Adjusted to the estimated 2009 average ticket price of $7.18. Inflation-adjustment is mostly done by multiplying estimated admissions by the latest average ticket price. Where admissions are unavailable, adjustment is based on the average ticket price for when each movie was released (taking in to account re-releases where applicable).
So … here’s a partial list of the REAL BOXOFFICE WINNERS OF ALL TIME. Hold your breath – it ain’t gonna be what you think!!! And nope – TITANIC is NOT the highest grossing movie of all time!
1 Gone with the Wind MGM
2 Star Wars Fox

4 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Uni.
5 The Ten Commandments Par.
6 Titanic Par.
