50+ Low-Budget Films That Became Huge Box Office Successes

Here’s a documentary movie that many of you have probably heard of. Super Size Me is about a man named Morgan Spurlock, who also served as director and producer, and his quest to see what would happen to the human body if it consumed nothing but McDonald’s food for 30 days.

Due to its simplicity, Super Size Me only had a starting budget of around $65,000. However, when it hit theaters, it became an instant hit, and it would gross $20.6 million at the end of its run. Also, Morgan would gain 24 pounds and suffer from all sorts of health-related conditions.
