Disney's Most Expensive Movie Ever Made Is in This Franchise
The SAG and WGA strikes have put a spotlight on just how bad Hollywood is at fairly compensating artists. When it comes to dollars and cents, the American film industry has a practice known as “Hollywood accounting.” This procedure fudges the numbers on even the biggest hit movies to ensure that they’re technically “unprofitable,” ensuring that the studios don’t have to pay off artists involved in making these projects.
What is interesting, though, is that the first six Star Wars films were nowhere near as expensive to produce. The original Star Wars cost $11 million to make, a notable figure in 1977 but substantially smaller than other blockbusters from the same era, like the $55 million budget of the 1978 feature Superman. Even the more modern Star Wars movies cost way less to make, with each of the prequels costing $115 million to make.
Looking back on the 2010s, one doesn’t need to just look at the Disney Star Wars movies to see exorbitant spending in action. A big-budget adaption of The Lone Ranger for some reason cost $225-250 million to make, while a gritty imagining of Jack & the Beanstalk needed a $195 million budget.
