8 Most Expensive Movies of 2013

No. 1: The Hobbit – The Desolation of Smaug

Production costs: $250 million
A movie that uses so many special effects, out-of-this world costumes, and breathtaking sceneries was bound to be expensive. The second movie in The Hobbit series had production costs amounting to a staggering quarter of a billion dollars. With the third and final movie on its way, we expect that director Peter Jackson will make even more expenses to ensure a high quality film.
