We’ve rounded up projects that cost creators millions of dollars. Interestingly, Game of Thrones is only in fifth place.
“Crown”
Queen Elizabeth’s story is one of the most expensive Netflix projects. According to the network, the first two seasons cost about $150 million. Now a series costs 13 million.
“Ambulance”
The series about the life of handsome Clooney (59) and doctors started in 1994 and was chosen as Hollywood’s most expensive drama in 1999. One episode – about 13 million dollars (most of the funds went to acting fees).
“annealing”
A music series about the lives of teenagers in an impoverished New York area has also cost Netflix quite dearly: The first and only season of The Annealing cost $120 million, according to Variety experts.
“Friends”
It’s hard to believe, but Friends managed to outrun Game of Thrones. And it’s all about the acting fees – by the end of the project, the stars received $ 1 million for a 25-minute episode (plus about $ 10 million for production costs).
“Game of Thrones”
Eight seasons of cult fantasy series (with dragons and great battles) required serious expenses. It is known that each episode of the sixth season cost $ 10 million, and the finale (eighth) $ 15 million.
“Marco Polo”
The historical series about a Venetian merchant started in 2014. 90 million dollars was spent for 10 episodes, but the audience did not like the project. As a result, Netflix lost nearly 200 million in two seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“The Eighth Sense”
The Wachowski brothers’ sci-fi drama (I’m sure you’ve seen those cool obscene scenes). The first season cost $120 million, and after the remake, each episode of the second season cost $9 million.
“Card house”
It is known that each episode of the first season cost $ 4.5 million. In the fifth season, the numbers increased (Kevin Spacey (60) began to receive a million per episode), but later Spacey was fired for a sex scandal, the audience did not appreciate the sixth season without his participation, and the project was there. to be closed.
“Survive”
The series debuted in 2004 and could boast of high ratings for six years — everyone wanted to know what happened on the strange island where the plane crashed (the screenwriters have repeatedly admitted that they weren’t sure until the very last point about how the story would end). The cost of the pilot series with the crash of the plane is incredible – 14 million dollars. And each subsequent series is four million.
