10. Deadpool â $102,100,246
9. Unreleased Halo MMO â $103,242,337
8. Max Payne 3 â $108, 776,623

Did any of these entries surprise you at all? Iâll admit, I did not expect Deadpool to be here, and Iâm hoping most of that cost was marketing and licensing because it sure wasnât worth that price tag.
