With Hollywood budgets being what they are, a budget under $10 million is practically tiny. Despite this, many films have gone on to make a killing at the box office from budgets that barely scratch the surface of their competition.
So, here are 14 smaller-budget movies that made the big bucks at the box office:
- Juno
- Mad Max
- Paranormal Activity
- Little Miss Sunshine
- El Mariachi
- The Blair Witch Project
- Annabelle
- Super Size Me
- Rocky
- My Big Fat Greek Wedding
- The Devil Inside
- Halloween
- Moonlight
- Napoleon Dynamite
