The movie, directed by Luc Besson, is dubbed the most expensive French film in history. According to Cineuropa, "Valerian" was made with a spectacular budget of 197.47 million euros or approximately $209 million. This sparks questions whether the massive budget will pay off, considering that mainstream moviegoers in United States may not find the project familiar. However, report said that "Valerian" might have a huge opening in France rather than in the U.S.Pas de repos pour les personnages de Valerian qui se dévoilent dans 8 nouvelles affiches. #FêteduTravail pic.twitter.com/Mw1avTEgEm
