Until now we believed that ‘Star Wars: The force Awakens’ was the most expensive film in the history of cinema with a total cost of 452 million pounds. amount that was later reduced in several tens for several tax benefits from which it benefited. Well, Forbes has just revealed that it has been over 453.6 million pounds. From The Guardian also confirm this point.
Some will wonder why I am giving the data in pounds when it comes to Hollywood productions, so your own would be to do it in dollars. It is simple, since the information has been made public because Universal had to do it to get access to certain tax benefits from the United Kingdom -And also to a help for retention of work during pandemia. In fact, that has relieved investment sensitively, since it has allowed the study to recover 92 million pounds. The highest amount achieved so far by any film.
A few buts
It is likely that this has led to Universal’s net investment in ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ has ended up being slightly lower than Disney’s in ‘Star Wars: the awakening of force’. To that we must add that the film headed by Chris Pratt He started shooting shortly before Coronavirus pandemic impact production and triggered his cost.
Of course, this record of ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ It has a very important butand it is also known by the same source that Disney spent 1000 million pounds between ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’, but you do not have access to the concrete investment in each of them, so it is impossible to assign the record even though it is clear that any of them has it.
Besides, There are other films that are impossible to know the exact total spendingsince they do not have to make them public if they are filled in the United States. However, the expense in ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ does not let it be impressive, especially if we take into account that until now we thought it had cost 328.6 million dollars, a much lower amount than the real one.
By the way, the Jurassic saga continues this summer with ‘Jurassic World 4’, a film that surely has not been precisely cheap. Of course, to know the exact amount we will still have to wait a while.
