Annabelle
The long-awaited horror flick, Annabelle, finally hit theaters in 2014. Production was postponed several times due to budgetary problems and whatnot. In the end, the filmmakers only received $6.5 million to come up with an entire horror story surrounding a frightening doll.
The movie centered around a cursed doll definitely paid off. In the end, it grossed over $37 million at the box office, but some claim that the popularity of Annabelle was due to it being a spin-off of the popular Conjuring movies. None of that matters—the filmmakers ended up grossing almost six times more than they started with!
