The Most Profitable Movies of All Time (24/7 Tempo; 24/7 Wall St)

"High-budget movies often make headlines. The most expensive production ever (thus far), Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," cost $376.5 million, after a tax credit, in 2011, and grossed $1 billion worldwide. While a profit of $623.5 million may look impressive, the return on investment is quite low. The film made only $2.70 for every dollar in the production budget. 24/7 Tempo reviewed the worldwide gross for every dollar in the production budget using data from The Numbers, an online movie database owned by consulting firm Nash Information Services. The movies on the list below returned at least $29 for every dollar in the production budget. [Check out the list] to see the movies that made the most money with the fewest dollars." - 247wallst.com
