Comparing movie budgets and box office returns can highlight notable low-budget films. Below are some of the biggest and greatest low-budget films made for under $1 million.

1. Rocky (1976)

You can save money when you write and star in a movie yourself. Sylvester Stallone and director John G. Avildsen kicked off the “Rocky” franchise on a budget just shy of $1 million. The film made $225 million worldwide, which equates to over $1 billion in 2021.

2. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

“Napoleon Dynamite” is a quirky cult classic with a following that began well after its theatrical release. The film grossed $44.9 million in its first year after a quiet $116,666 opening weekend. “Napoleon Dynamite” accomplished this feat on a $400,000 budget — lead actor Jon Heder only received $1,000 for his work.

3. Halloween (1978)

Michael Myers came slashing through the box office by grossing $47 million in the U.S. and $23 million internationally — all on a $350,000 budget. As one of the earliest slasher films, “Halloween” set the framework for a profitable model that major studios would replicate over the next decade.

4. Friday the 13th (1980)

Paramount Pictures approved “Friday the 13th” following the success of “Halloween.” With a budget of $500,000, this trip to Camp Crystal Lake made $39.7 million at the U.S. box office. Warner Bros. would handle the overseas release, bringing the total to $59.8 million.

5. Mad Max (1979)

This Australian film depicting a post-apocalyptic world of road rage came to life with a budget of 400,000 Australian dollars. “Mad Max” was a hit worldwide, grossing over 100 million USD and setting a world record for the most profitable film.

6. The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Writers, directors and editors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez spent between $35,000 and $60,000 shooting “The Blair Witch Project,” making it arguably the cheapest movie ever made. It later received between $200,000 and $750,000 from Artisan Entertainment for post-production. The “Blair Witch Project” snowballed after its release, earning $248.6 million worldwide.

7. American Graffiti (1973)

Before George Lucas was a famous director, he debuted with the film “American Graffiti” starring Harrison Ford. With a budget of $770,000, Lucas’ picture earned over $55 million worldwide and has gone on to make over $200 million in subsequent home and theatrical releases.

Elden Ring review

Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki‘s Game of the Year acceptance speech was followed by a bizarre moment when a member of the audience appeared to join the FromSoftware team on stage, before grabbing the mic and shouting out “his orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton.”

According to host Geoff Keighley, the individual has now been arrested.

The Bandai Namco RPG, which has sold over 17 million copies and is the highest-rated new game of the year, also received a pair of PlayStation Partner Awards last week, including the Grand Award (for the best-selling game developed in Asia) and the Users’ Choice award. Elden Ring’s latest update rolled out earlier this week. The expansion takes place in the several Colosseums that have been dotted around the Elden Ring map since the game was released. FromSoftware had a busy night, with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon also being revealed during The Game Awards, with a trailer announcing that the game will release on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. Published by Bandai Namco, the sixth installment marks the first new Armored Core game in more than a decade, the last being Armored Core V back in 2012.
