6 of the most expensive movies Netflix has ever made

Budget: $90 million (Source: IMDb Pro)

"Bright" is one of Netflix's earlier original movies, but the streaming giant was still confident enough in the project to commit $90 million to it. The Will Smith action-fantasy debuted before Netflix started revealing viewership numbers, but content chief Ted Sarandos said after its release that its success showed how critics are "disconnected from the commercial prospects of a film." It has a 28% Rotten Tomatoes critic score.

Netflix took a chance spending so much on the R-rated action-drama "Triple Frontier." It seems to have worked, as Netflix said that "Triple Frontier" was one of its most popular movies ever and was watched by 63 million households in its first four weeks of release.

Martin Scorsese's three-and-a-half-hour gangster epic was nominated for 10 Oscars. While it didn't win any, Netflix said it is one of its most-watched movies ever at 64 million households in its first four weeks. The budget ballooned thanks largely to deaging technology used to make the actors, including Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, look younger.

Production on "Red Notice" — starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot — was delayed earlier this year due to the coronavirus pandemic and no release date has been announced. The three stars are receiving massive paydays: Gadot and Reynolds are both getting $20 million for the movie while Johnson is expected to make more because he is also a producer, according to Variety. While the movie could cost up to $200 million, Variety reported it may be closer to $160 million.
