This is a non-definitive list of most expensive non-English-language films, with budgets given in United States dollars. Only films with budgets exceeding US$30 million are listed here. Where the source gives the budget in the native currency, conversion is carried out using the exchange rates given by The World Factbook.[1] French-language films are the most represented. Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016), a film with an estimated production cost of $140 million,[2] has a lip-synched Chinese-language version.[3]
