Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice may take the record for the most expensive movie ever made.

Loading

Latino Review reports that the film's budget has ballooned to $410 million. That already matches the current record holder, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, so if the budget further inflates anytime before release, it will take the record.That will make Dawn of Justice almost as expensive alone as both parts of the two planned Justice League movies, which are expected to share a $500 million budget according to LR. Even so, it may not hold the record for long. Rumor has it that Marvel's two Avengers: Infinity War movies will cost $1 billion, with $400 million going just to the actors, writers and directors.As the budgets increase, it becomes even more important for these blockbusters to be smash hits internationally. Marvel has had a few of its movies hit the $1 billion mark, most recently in the case of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
