Disney films stood out as the most expensive in Hollywood history
One of the most profitable businesses in the entertainment industry, Hollywood it grosses billions of dollars every year at the box office, no matter how many failures there are annually. However, there were several productions that cost a lot, but had a good return and even made a profit.

Recent examples are The Flash (2023), Avatar: The Path of Water (2022), To the Marvels (2023), Indiana Jones and the Call of Destiny (2023), among others.
According to information from the NMEthe most expensive film of all time is Star Wars The Force Awakensdirected by JJ Abrams and released on December 17, 2015 in Brazilian cinemas, with a cost of US$447 million, including production and marketing.

Interestingly, none of these films are on the list of highest-grossing films in history, led by Avatar (2009), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Titanic (1997).
