The World's Most Expensive Movie Ran Way Over Its Original Budget

Hollywood has spent decades throwing inordinate amounts of money at movies for what feels like very little in return. It's a gamble at the best of times and sometimes those odds do pay off, but even by those standards, spending nearly $700 million on a single film is pretty mad. That's enough money to make several major blockbusters, and considerably more than most movies will ever earn at the box office. Well now, thanks to new financial documents being made available, it seems that the most expensive movie ever made actually cost even more than previously reported.
