One blockbuster of a riddle that's free to watch, but costs a pretty penny to make – talk about a Hollywood hustle!

In the land of Punderland, where wit and wordplay reign supreme, a mysterious figure emerged with a paradox that puzzled even the most clever of minds. "I cost $100 million, but I'm also free," the enigmatic figure declared. "What am I?"

As the crowd scratched their heads, a wise-cracking bystander quipped, "Is it a Kardashian's ego? Because that's priceless, yet somehow still manages to cost us all dearly!"

The mysterious figure chuckled and said, "Not quite, my friend. But you're on the right track. After all, as the great philosopher, Dolly Parton, once said, 'Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living!'"

As the crowd pondered the riddle, a curious onlooker asked, "Is it a public library? Because you can borrow books and movies for free, but the library itself costs millions to maintain!"

The mysterious figure beamed with pride and said, "You're getting warmer, my friend! But the answer I'm looking for is something a bit more... blockbuster."

And then, it hit them – a blockbuster movie! It could cost $100 million to make, but can be watched for free on streaming services or borrowed from a library.
