Low Budget Films That Made More Than Their Money Back

Brick – $475,000 budget

For a man who directed a Star Wars film, it’s amazing to see how little money it cost to make his first film. 2005’s Brick was made for less than half a million dollars, and yet it is a transformative experience for the audience and the actors on screen.

Even though it has an incredibly low budget, Brick made $4 million at the box office and set writer and director Rian Johnson on to a path of stardom.
