My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was arguably the most talked-about movie of its time, even though it only had a “measly” $5 million to make. The movie was such a hit that even after 12 months, it would continue to sell movie tickets. When all was said and done, My Big Fat Greek Wedding made over $368 million.
At first, the movie was only shown in 108 theaters across the country, but in the initial weekend, it had made over half a million dollars. Nia Vardalos, who played Toula, received an Academy Award nomination, and the movie would win a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Comedy.
