At this point in time, I don’t think there are a lot of people in the world who haven’t heard about Netflix. The digital streaming behemoth is one of the major names in the market, bringing some world-class movies and TV shows to the audience. So, earlier we brought a list of Netflix’s most-watched TV shows, then there was the official list of “most-watched” movies on the platform. Now, we bring you the list of the “most-expensive” movies ever produced on the digital platform.
Most Expensive Movies on Netflix
So, below is the list of the movies that had or will have massive budgets for production. Here goes:
1. The Gray Man (Release Date Unconfirmed)
If you haven’t been living under a rock, then chances are you have already heard about this film that is to release on Netflix (probably next year). The “Gray Man” is reportedly going to be a spy-movie directed by the duo who brought us films like the Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War, Joe and Anthony Russo (the Russo brothers). It will feature Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling as the leads and is going to be the most expensive movie ever to release on the platform with a massive budget of over $200 million.
2. Red Notice (Release Date Unconfirmed)
“Red Notice”, starring by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, was to release earlier this year. However, due to the rise of the COVID-19, it got delayed indefinitely, much like Nolan’s Tenet. However, this star-studded film is one of the most expensive projects to come to Netflix. According to reports, the film has a budget ranging from $160 million to $200 million.
3. The Irishman (2019)
Directed by the legend, Martin Scorcese, “The Irishman” was one of the most anticipated films of last year. The film, starred by iconic actors like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino came to the digital platform instead of the big screens. However, this does not mean that this Oscar-nominated film did not have a big budget. According to reports, the producers had to expand their budget to almost $160 million just to make De Niro and Pacino look younger than ever.

6. Bright (2017)
Released back in late 2017, “Bright” was one of the most hyped movies at the time. The Will Smith starrer sci-fi/fantasy went on to become a major hit on the platform, despite insanely low critic ratings. This was probably because of the visual elements of the film that attracted most of the audience. And that is also a reason for the film’s huge budget of $90 million that makes it one of the most-expensive movies on Netflix.
