Friday The 13th
Friday the 13th is another classic slasher movie that made way more than anyone could’ve predicted. Nobody could’ve known that the movie, which started off with just $550,000, would end up grossing close to $95 million at the box office and create a cult following that persists to this very day!
Legend has it that the director, Sean S. Cunningham, only had a few weeks to work on the movie, and he was already strapped for cash. He was already working on different projects at the time, so he didn’t focus all his efforts on Friday the 13th. Even he was surprised that the movie became an instant success!
