Money-Wasters: The Most over-budgeted movies of 2010.

Movies cost a lot of money in hollywood. these ones cost a lot even considering that.

10. Iron Man 2-$200 Million
Should have been: $170 Million

Arguably this one's not really overbudgeted, but I didn't see $200 million the screen. What do I expect for $200 million? Innovation. What did I get? Boredom.

9. Alice in Wonderland-$200 million
Should have been: $150 million

Okay, so it was a huge visual effects extravaganza, I get it. But $200 million demands more. Again, probably not that overbudgeted, but still, a waste of $200 mil.

8. The Tourist-$100 Million
Should Have been: $80 Million

Okay, to be fair, this was an action drama. With big stars. But $100 million is a big price tag, especially considering the movie came nowhere near reaching that mark domestically.

7. Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader-$155 Million
Should have Been: $100 Million

All of the Narnia movies have been overbudgeted in my book. Prince Caspian cost $225 million, so this is a bit more reasonable. But still, there was nothing here that made it reasonably cost that much. No big stars, nothing. Just sad really, because if they'd kept the budget down, they would be swimming in the money at this point.

6. Tangled-$260 million
Should have Been: Around $150 million

Tangled has an excuse. Production started way back in 2004, and in 2008 they threw it all out and started over. The preliminary 4 years of work is included in that. Excuses though, don't get you far with me. This stands as the second most expensive movie of all time.

5. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time-$200 Million
Should have Been: $100 million

Yet another $200 million pricetag. This shows how naive Disney is. You just don't invest $200 million in a movie that's supposed to be a franchise starter. It's just bad form. Not to mention that it could have been made for much, much less.

4. Sex and the City 2-$100 Million
Should have never been made!

This is self-explanatory. Whether you saw the movie or not (I did not) you can see that this is a gross example of Hollywood excess. Just horrible.

3. The Wolf Man-$150 Million
Should Have been: $75 million

$150 million thrown at a movie nobody saw. Universal is pretty stupid for doing this.

2. Robin Hood-$200 million
Should Have been: $80 Million

I didn't think this one could be topped. $200 million on a movie that looks like it was made for five bucks. No big effects shots, nothing really epic, mostly just people riding horses through the woods. Sure, Russell Crowe probably took $20 million, Ridley Scott upwards of 25, but that still leaves $155 million to make a movie. Also, the movie sucked.

1. How do you Know-$120 Million
Should Have been: $40 million

When I saw the budget for this one, I was convinced it was a type-o. It wasn't. Haven't seen it, but unless there's an epic helicopter chase half-way through that I don't know about, there's no reason it should be this much. Sony must be down in the depths of despair, since it only made back a quarter of it's massive overbudgetedness.
