The 18 Films That Defied Mockery and Struck Gold (Kindafrugal)

"Have you ever wondered why some movies make a mountain of cash while costing just a handful of pennies to make? (Okay, maybe not pennies, but you get the drift!) In today's world of high-cost and overproduced movies, it's rare to find movies that buck the trend. Some of these blockbusters, which cost a fortune and took years to make, lived up to their lofty expectations. Others bombed at the box office, and the investors lost their shirts. Other movies cost much less but had some of the highest profit margins. I'm sure it's hard for movie makers to know which ones will be a hit. We've found some gems of movies that cost much less to make than many of their competitors but were box-office hits. Let's take a magical movie journey and look at the flicks that surprised Hollywood with their jaw-dropping profit margins." - kindafrugal.com
