15) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) - $263.7M

The second Pirates movie upped the ante on CGI, particularly for Davy Jones, as the character was finally fully realized with innovative motion capture and effects. Exotic locations and complex set pieces, such as floating on an island, gave scope to an action-adventure film. Director Gore Verbinski's spectacle of oversized beasts and magic needed a larger budget to be realized. As high as the price, it grossed over $1 billion for the franchise.
