Good site. I'm always looking for these kind of numbers. Budget v Box Office.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Budget = $5 million
Box Office = $240 million
Profit = 48 times budget
Napoleon Dynamite
Budget = $400k
Box Office = $44 million
Profit = 110 times budget
Blair Witch Project
Budget = $35k
Box Office = $140 million
Profit = 4,000 times budget
Even if you didn't like those movies, you gotta like those numbers.

Check out the numbers for Stealth, The Island, Cutthroat Island. Got to believe a few office changes, and many bottles of pepto were consumed by the producers involved.

wait, wait wait. There's a mistake in there I think...
How does a studio spend 145 million on a cartoon? A bad one at that? (See Tarzan). Did I miss something here, read it wrong? That can't be the right number, right?

US made cartoons at that level are expensive. Thats why no one makes em
anymore.
