00:00Today, we are looking at the biggest blockbusters to ever be released on the Netflix platform.

00:05These Netflix originals often rival the budgets of even the biggest Hollywood films.

00:10Welcome back everyone, Matthew here with Cinegold, and today we are going to take a look at the

00:14top 10 biggest budget Netflix movies ever released.

00:17Let's take a look at number 10.

00:1910.

00:31Army of the Dead $90 Million This is a zombie heist film where a group

00:35of mercenaries travel through a zombie infested Vegas to retrieve a massive cash stash.

00:41So why was it so expensive?

00:43Well, this is a Zack Snyder film and some directors you just hand them the bag and let

00:47them do their thing.

00:48A lot of the money went to the visual effects, large scale action sequences, and a detailed

00:53recreation of post-apocalyptic Las Vegas.

00:55So was it worth it?

00:57In this case, yes, as Army of the Dead was a solid success for Netflix, getting a lot

01:01of views, and even getting a prequel movie and an upcoming anime series.

01:159.

01:16The Midnight Sky $100 Million This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film about

01:21a lone scientist in the Arctic who's trying to stop a group of astronauts from returning

01:25to Earth after a global catastrophe.

01:28This film stars and was directed by George Clooney, who's gonna cost a decent chunk

01:32of money himself, and the film has some pretty nice special effects that were nominated for

01:37an Academy Award.

01:38As for whether or not the movie was a success, the answer is yes and no.

01:42It was one of the top performing movies on Netflix at the time of its release, but critics

01:46and audiences mostly hated it.

01:48I personally thought it was a decent movie, but seems doubtful we'll ever see a sequel.

02:008.

02:01Bright $106 Million This is an urban fantasy set in an alternate

02:06present where humans coexist with mystical creatures.

02:09A lot of the money spent on Bright can be chalked up to the big names attached to it,

02:14most notably director David Ayer and, of course, Will Smith.

02:17It also had extensive special effects and makeup and big action-packed sequences.

02:22Bright was critically a flop, but in terms of viewership, it was a massive success, getting

02:27a ton of views.

02:28Netflix called it one of their most successful movies ever in 2018.

02:31It did get a spinoff anime and almost got a sequel, but it was cancelled in the fallout

02:36from Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.

02:507.

02:51Triple Frontier $115 Million This is an action-adventure film that follows

02:57a group of former special forces operatives who reunite to plan a heist in South America.

03:02Triple Frontier had a star-studded cast taking a big chunk of the budget, including actors

03:06Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, and Charlie Hunnam.

03:09It also had extensive location shoots in remote areas, complex action sequences, and high-quality

03:15production design.

03:16Triple Frontier wasn't a huge success for Netflix, but it did manage to be one of the

03:20platform's most watched titles for several weeks and got decent critical reviews.

03:25So overall, you could call it a modest success for Netflix.

03:326.

03:38Outlaw King $120 Million This is a historical drama that tells the

03:43story of Robert the Bruce, who leads a guerrilla war to reclaim the Scottish throne from English

03:48rule.

03:49This is a historical epic, which are always expensive with costs driven by huge battle

03:53sequences, detailed period costumes, and sets that recreated 14th century Scotland.

03:58Personally, I loved this film and wished Netflix would make more big historical epics,

04:02but overall, reviews for the film were relatively mixed.

04:05It did, however, manage to find a significant viewership and got a lot of praise for its

04:10epic scale and action sequences, so it seems as if the cost was justified.

04:145.

04:26Six Underground $150 Million This is an action thriller that follows a

04:31group of six people who fake their deaths to form an elite vigilante squad to take down

04:36notorious criminals.

04:37Six Underground is a Michael Bay film, another director known for his big budget films, and

04:42this one is no exception.

04:44It's got high-octane action scenes that use practical effects and on-location shoots in

04:49multiple countries.

04:50It got a lot of critical praise for its action sequences, but not so much for its plot, but

04:54it was a huge success in terms of viewership, becoming one of Netflix's most-watched original

04:59movies at the time of its release.

05:024.

05:14Beverly Hills Cop Axl F $150 Million The latest movie on this list, Axl F, is the

05:20newest installment of the action-comedy franchise about Detective Axl Foley, who returns to

05:26Beverly Hills to solve a new case.

05:28Like a lot of movies on this list, the expensive cost can be chalked up to a big name, in this

05:32case Eddie Murphy, and the elaborate action sequences.

05:36It's a little too soon to say whether or not Beverly Hills Cop Axl F will have been worth

05:40the high cost, however, it seems to have been one of the biggest Netflix releases this summer,

05:44so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hit.

05:583.

05:59The Irishman F $159 Million This is a crime epic about a hitman involved

06:05with a crime family and his connection to the disappearance of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa.

06:10The Irishman was a little different in that a big part of its budget went into de-aging

06:15so that they could look like younger versions of themselves.

06:18There was also a big director, Martin Scorsese, and big actors, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci,

06:23and Al Pacino.

06:24The Irishman was a huge success for Netflix in every way, drawing a huge viewership and

06:29also critical acclaim with 10 Academy Award nominations.

06:33The Irishman also proved the Netflix platform can support high quality talent, making the

06:37money an investment that definitely paid off.

06:442.

06:49Red Notice $200 Million I put Red Notice at number 2 because its budget

06:54was anywhere from $150 and $200 million, but not sure of the exact number.

06:59Red Notice was an action comedy about an FBI agent who teams up with a renowned art thief

07:03to catch an elusive criminal.

07:05The film's enormous budget was due to its star-studded cast, high production values,

07:09and extensive use of exotic locations around the world.

07:13Red Notice was a huge success for Netflix, quickly becoming one of the most-watched movies

07:17on the platform ever.

07:18The combination of star power and high-octane entertainment proved to be a lucrative formula,

07:23making the substantial investment very much worthwhile for Netflix.

07:351.

07:38The Gray Man $200 Million This action thriller is about a CIA operative

07:43on the run from a sociopathic former colleague after he uncovers agency secrets.

07:48The Gray Man had the largest budget of any Netflix movie ever, and that can be attributed

07:53to the big action sequences, a global shoot, high-end special effects, star-studded cast,

07:58and big-name directors in the Russo Brothers.

08:01The Gray Man received mixed reviews from critics, but did quite well in terms of viewership.

08:05It quickly became one of the platform's most-watched films, and also paved the way for a potential

08:10franchise.

08:11Netflix is planning sequels and spinoffs, indicating that the investment was indeed

08:15worthwhile.
