The total movie costed $207 million dollars, almost 20 times than the original King Kong movie, back in 1933.

The 1933 Kong was made for less than $1 million (I believe the number was $200k) - which would make the new Kong 1000 times as expensive.
It's a great movie - a proper homage to the original, which I still revere as one of the best movies of all time. Peter Jackson is a genius.
