Low Budget Movies That Made More Than Their Money Back
6. Juno – $7.5 Million
Fox Searchlight
While Juno seemed like a pretty ordinary film for teenagers in love, it made a serious impact on audiences, resulting in a surprising success! And, it looks like the cast knew Juno was a hit from the very beginning. For instance, star actress Jennifer Gardner actually agreed to a pay cut so the low budget movie could stay in production! In the end, it all worked out for the best: when Juno released in 2008, it instantly became a smash hit!
At the end of its run, Juno made over $230 million against a $7.5 million budget. People simply loved the story of a teenager figuring out how to become a mother! It also earned several Academy Award nominations, though it failed to take any home.
