While it was the third highest grossing movie of 1997, it was only the TWENTIETH most expensive.
Yes, 19 other movies cost more than the sequel to what was the highest grossing movie ever at the time.
Titanic Air Force One Men In Black Con Air Contact Flubber Batman and Robin Face Off Speed 2 Conspiracy Theory Devil's Own The Postman The Fifth Element Starship Troopers Volcano Dante's Peak Alien Resurrection Hercules Tomorrow Never Dies
They all cost more that the $73 million TLW:JP cost, and let's be honest, more than have of those movies shouldn't have.

Pretty mind boggling when the graphics in the majority of those films became laugh-out-loud dated years ago.

*looks at list*
Goddamn that was a good year for movies, though. Even the bad ones are fun to watch.

Also, obviously Titanic is the most expensive movie on that list, but can you guess the second without looking it up?

How the hell did Flubber cost so much?
It's been a while since I've watched but I can't remember it been high on special effects, scenery, locations etc.

And yet despite this Hollywood has learned absolutely nothing about trying to keep budgets within reason and not blowing money on stupid shit.

It's been a while since I've watched but I can't remember it been high on special effects, scenery, locations etc. There's really only one scene in the entire movie where the Flubber did something (that dance scene), which they advertised the hell out of it. The rest of the film was surprisingly grim. And cheap looking.

Was it Speed 2, the 2nd most expensive I remember it costing quite a lot
you would think since so much of the earth is water, they wouldn't be so expensive

My guess is going to be Dante's Peak, it kind of strikes me like it'd be surprisingly pricey.

Tomorrow Never Dies is the second most expensive. James Bond movies have high budgets.

They kept the budget lower by using real dinosaurs. Of course that was before dinosaurs unionized.
