6World War Z – $190 million
Despite the huge earnings, ‘World War Z’ isn’t the most expensive film made at the time.
Released in 2013, the American disaster horror film was directed by Marc Forster, starring Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a former United Nations investigator.
With an initial budget of $125 million, ‘World War Z’ had eventually $190 million as a budget.
But after the $540 million at the box office, sequels were ordered. And this film became Brad Pitt’s highest grossing film to date. So yes. Money well spent!
Story line: ‘United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself.‘
