There has always been a shroud of secrecy surrounding the finances of Hollywood productions. The only time that verifiable numbers are disclosed is after a lawsuit or when a filmmaker casually lets slip during an interview. Remember when Tony Gilroy revealed that Disney spent $650 million on two seasons of Andor? Otherwise, studios tend to refrain from commenting on budgets and revenues. All of this is to say that any publicly available financial data about a major movie or show must be taken with a pinch of salt. However, movies filmed in the United Kingdom are more likely to be transparent due to local laws. For the last few years, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been perched atop the list of the most expensive films ever made, with a reported gross budget of $638 million. However, a recent Fortune report suggests that a more recent film has overtaken this benchmark to become the most expensive movie of all time.
The film was released in 2022 and was poorly received by critics and audiences, but was able to gross more than $1 billion worldwide. That said, considering its pandemic-inflated costs, this is nowhere near what it needed to gross to break even. Studios typically share box-office revenue evenly with exhibitors, while shouldering marketing costs that often amount to more than $100 million for tent-pole projects. Star Wars: The Force Awakens grossed more than $2 billion worldwide, putting it in the clear. However, the 2022 movie was faced with unforeseen difficulties during production, the new report revealed, adding that Universal likely took a loss on the movie theatrically. The critical and commercial response to the film prompted the studio to exercise more control over its recent follow-up, which was released in 2025.
Collider Exclusive · Star Wars Quiz Which Force User Are You? Light Side · Dark Side · Or Somewhere Between
The Force is not a binary. It is a spectrum — from the serene halls of the Jedi Temple to the shadowed corridors of Sith space. Ten questions will reveal where you truly fall. The Force has always known. Now you will too.
Jedi Master
Padawan
Sith Lord
Inquisitor
Grey Jedi
01
What is the Force to you? Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.
02
When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do? The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.
03
The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You: How you handle authority reveals your alignment.
04
You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You: The dark side’s pull is never more than a choice away.
05
Your approach to training and learning is: A student’s habits become a master’s character.
06
In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects: Combat is the purest expression of a Force user’s philosophy.
07
A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You: Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.
08
The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds: The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.
09
Why do you use the Force at all? What’s the point? Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.
10
At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins? In the end, every Force user faces this moment. What does yours look like?
Your Alignment Has Been Determined Your Place in the Force
The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you.
Jedi Master
Padawan
Sith Lord
Inquisitor
Grey Jedi
Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.
You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.
You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.
You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.
You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.
What Is the Most Expensive Movie Ever Made?
The movie in question is Jurassic World Dominion, which reportedly cost $658 million to produce. It grossed almost exactly $1 billion worldwide, falling short of the $1.3 billion global haul of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and the $1.6 billion haul of Jurassic World. All three films in the reboot trilogy featured Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard in the lead roles, but saw declining critical response over the course of their run. Dominion, which was directed by Colin Trevorrow, holds a franchise-low 28% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Universal rebooted the franchise again in 2025with Jurassic World Rebirth, which Fortune reportedcost a far smaller $254 million to produce. Directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson, Rebirth received mixed reviews and ended its global box office run with less than $900 million worldwide.
Jurassic World Dominion is streaming now on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
