Fascinating video shows what people are paid on massive movies
A major event movie cost around 150 million dollars not so long ago but that figure began to explode in the wake of James Cameron throwing 200 million at Titanic back in 1997. Today, Cameron's figure stands as the cost of a tentpole release, common to titles like Spider-Man 2, The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey, Iron Man 3, Star Wars The Force Awakens and X-Men Days of Future Past.
Of course there are also horrifying abberations, usually stemming from behind the scenes issues which result in films like Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides costing almost 380 million and John Carter and Spider-Man 3 ballooning beyond the 250 million mark.
