Low Budget Films That Made More Than Their Money Back

Buried – $2 million budget

This Ryan Reynolds horror film didn’t need to spend much on set design – the whole film takes place in a coffin. The 2010 film was made for $2 million and brought in more than $20 million – 10 times its original budget!

Reynolds stars as an American civilian working in Iraq who wakes to find himself buried in a wooden coffin. The film was praised for its editing and sense of agitation it would evoke from audiences.
