Given the principal magnate behind the project , the film’sBox Office Mojo - report budget of $ 55 million does n’t number across as too much of a surprisal , but the comparatively sizable investing paid off clean well .

Red Dragon (2002) — $209.2 Million
It may not include any classical Anthony Hopkins repugnance movie second at the level ofThe secrecy of the Lambs , but Brett Ratner ’s serviceably entertaining adaption of the first Hannibal Lecter book , Red Dragon , does boast a line of unbelievable performances .
Along with Hopkins , there ’s Edward Norton as one of the dealership ’s two major protagonists , Will Graham , and Fiennes as Francis Dolarhyde , the newest Orcinus orca Graham has to bring down . The dyad do n’t portion out much screentime , as Fiennes is or else mostly paired with Emily Watson as Reba McClane , a unreasoning char who has reached Dolarhyde in a fashion no one else ever has .

Widely regard as one of the 1990sbest epic cinematic sexual love report , The English Patientalso managed to become one of Fiennes ' earliest bad hit . The pic put Fiennes in his two major wheelhouses : the romanticist film and the dialogue - drive piece . The English Patientis a methodical ( arguably dull ) film that does manage to make great purpose of Fiennes ' gift , despite some of its otherSeinfeld - parody error .
ConsideringThe English Patient ’s background , it ’s fairly surprising the budget was kept at a somewhat paltry $ 27 million ( perBox Office Mojo ) . In the end , Miramax ’s investment funds was more than deserving it .
Dolittle (2020) — $245.4 Million
Dolittlewas notoriously trashed by critic , earn scores of Razzie nominationsand any number of pathetic wordplay about how it would " do petty " at the box office .

Even with Robert Downey Jr. leading the moving-picture show , Dolittlewas notoriously troubled before it even score the self-aggrandising screenland ( the fact that it was bump to January was only a bigger William Tell ) . It also hit the silver cover with a $ 175 million price rag .

The Lego Batman Movie (2017) — $312.1 Million
The Lego Movieended up being a $ 200 + cubic centimeter domestic striking , so it was lifelike for the franchise to be thrive . Even more rude was slap the name " Batman " on the title , which not only conduct to some fantastic box office returns but one of the bestBatmanfilms to kick . Fiennes play the Lego interlingual rendition of Alfred , and his cadence was every bit as natural for the role as Michael Caine ’s or Michael Gough ’s .
The Lego Batman Moviehad an all - star ( expensive ) mould , the best animation of anyLegomovie , and a DC logo / tie-up worth a minuscule fortune , which make its tenuous $ 80 million budget a surprise . The investment was very much worth it , even if licensing rights negated the cosmos of a sequel . When all was said and done , The Lego Batman Moviehad almost quadrupled its terms rag .
Schindler’s List (1993) — $322.2 Million
By intention , Schindler ’s Listisn’t one ofSpielberg ’s most rewatchable picture , but it is inarguably one of the most important films ever made , and an intensive look at Nazism and those Germans who chose to ( secretly ) turn their backs on it .

BeforeRussell Crowe portrayed ZeusinThor : Love and Thunder , Liam Neeson took on the function in bothClash of the Titansand its sole sequel , Wrath of the Titans . Fiennes was along for the ride both times as Fiennes ' infernal region , and while he clear put his kernel into it the impact of his hard workplace is diminished by a surplus of CGI and overly - aggrandise digital part transition .
Box Office Mojoputs the budget forClashat $ 125 million , which is fairly idle study the look of the film and the mold attach . In return , the pic netted near half a billion dollar globally .
Skyfall (2012) — $1.1 Billion
Fiennes was a big name to take on the usually - unthankful role of M , butSkyfall(one ofthe most rewatchable James Bond film ) was only the beginning of his use in the franchise , and it was a character expansion that process more often than not .
Casino Royalerevitalized the dealership , butQuantum of Solacenearly stalled it . However , once Mendes was hired , it was clear that 007 was going in a new direction . Mendes had helmed significant films both big and diminished , butSkyfallwas the next level , and he tap it out of the park . It ended up being a real collision , and the first Bond film to hybridize $ 1 billion worldwide .
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) — $1.34 Billion
Fiennes was an A - middlebreaker prior toHarry Potter , but Voldemort fill him to another level ( even if he did have a thin layer of CGI over his facial feature of speech ) . He did n’t come in until the quaternary installment , but each of theHarry Potterfilms Fiennes is in are his highest - grossing films . But the biggest of the big is the net chapter .
Just before the 2d part ’s possible action , TheWrapreported that theDeathly Hallowsfilms held a divvy up budget of $ 250 million .
