Low Budget Films That Had Huge Box-Office Success

In this day and age, it seems that in order to keep up with the very best studios in Hollywood, you need to cough up at least $150 million on a movie in order for it to be remotely profitable. Blockbusters from Disney, 21st Century Fox and Warner Bros normally steal the headlines because they are the spectacles that everyone is looking forward to seeing. However, there are some exceptions to the rule. Some movies simply don't need to rely on millions of dollars for success. Join us as we take a look at some of the movies that had the lowest budgets, yet went onto make a ton of money at the box office.
