Originally, in general film-making usage the term "money shot" was a reference to the scene that cost the most money to produce; In general, a money shot (also called a "money-making" shot) is a provocative, sensational, or memorable sequence in a film, on which the film's commercial performance is perceived to depend. The scene may or may not be a special effects sequence, but may be counted on to become a selling point for the film. For example, in an action thriller, an expensive special effects sequence of a dam bursting might be called the "money shot" of the film. Many filmmakers read a script and look for the most dramatic or climactic moment in the proposed film. Even though the costs or technical challenges of filming such an impressive scene may be huge, producers and directors will do whatever it takes to get that shot completed. It is because of its box office importance and expensive set-up, that this climactic scene is often referred to as a money shot. A money shot is not necessarily the final scene of a movie, however. Sometimes the first appearance of a movie monster or the first glimpse of a Russian submarine or doomed luxury liner would be considered a money shot, since it's the one scene audiences will pay money to see.
