4) Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) - $379M

This was the fourth installment of the Pirates film, which was quite an expensive affair because of elaborate sets, extensive CGI, and Johnny Depp's high pay. Shot in several locations, its stunts and effects have also taken the budget beyond its means. Still classified as one of the priciest films ever but a very successful one, it has grossed more than $1 billion globally.
