The Evil Dead - Official Trailer
The money was really small, but you approached the matter with inspiration and talent. Therefore, as soon as the film could be brought to a mass audience, it became popular and received sequels.
The Godfather is a major studio film based on the book, which became the best-selling at the time and the film rights to which were bought before its release. The leader of the 1972 rental, who scored 2+ times more money than the second place - "The Adventure of Poseidon". The budget of the film is $6 million, while the budget of "Poseidon" about the flipping of an ocean liner is $5 million.
