How on Earth did "Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny" cost nearly $300m?

So last night I watched the film and, as ever, I looked on IMDb for trivia. Scrolling through it find that it cost an estimated $295m to make. I was staggered. I know a lot of huge blockbusters now cost upwards of $200m but I really couldn't see where that extra 50% was coming from.

I know there's a lot of effects and it's a period piece, and Harrison Ford probably ain't cheap, but where did all the money go?
