The 2009 summer movie season broke records at the box-office, as well as the studios’ pockets. 2009 marks the year with the most movies that cost $200 million or more. The good folks at io9 put together a nice list of all the movies with production budgets of $170 million and over, for the past ten years.

We thought you guys would like to know just how these high budget films did at the box-office. So we annotated their list with the movies Domestic and Foreign Box-Office takes, so you can see what was a hit, a bomb, and an outright disaster!

Though most films make their budget back with foreign box-office numbers, and DVD sales, we classify them according to their US box-office numbers. Something interesting to take note of, is that there were no budget busting films in the years 2000, 2001, and 2002. The Star Wars prequels were apparently on the cheap side, costing only around $120 million each.

It’s sad to say, but some of the biggest budgeted films that were made, are also some of the worst!

So check out the list, and let us know what you think!
