Unexpected Blockbusters: The Most Profitable Movies Ever

In the history of cinema there is a list of films that have conquered the box office by selling tickets for countries around the world. Relatively recently, Avatar once again overtook Avengers: Endgame as the highest grossing film in history, reaching 2,844,313,842 million worldwide. It is true that the two had a budget that exceeded 250 million, being a risky investment that does not have to go well, let them tell it if not Geena Davis’s Island of Severed Heads, which lost almost 140 million euros dollars on the 1995 billboard. It is highly commendable to get a huge collection with projects that are not big blockbusters and therefore do not have the budget line that pushes people to theaters. These are some of the most profitable films ever: “Paranormal Activity” The horror genre has always resulted in good box office numbers. But who was going to tell Israeli director Oren Peli that a movie that cost 15,000 would generate 193 million box office worldwide? Peli prepared his own house for a year for the filming, bought furniture, painted the walls and even built a staircase. Spielberg saw it on one of the promotional DVD copies and went to Dreamworks wrapping it in a garbage bag. The director of ET believed that the film was cursed, finally Paramount acquired the rights and made a good financial profit, getting its collection to raise it to the top of the most profitable films in history. “The Blair Witch Project” Each The dollar invested from this amateur film brought a profit of almost $ 10,000. It cost 60,000 and ultimately raised $ 248 million.This tale of witch stories worked very well at the marketing level, selling itself as a recovered film in which all its participants had disappeared. “High School Musical 3: End of course” The third part of the television film that fell in love with a whole generation of young people with their songs and dances is also the third most profitable film in history. It cost $ 11 million, but it raised a whopping $ 250 million. This final trip said goodbye to the beloved characters, but not before singing the last one.
