Lost In Translation – $4 Million Budget
They might be an unlikely pair, but Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray had excellent chemistry when they appeared in the dark comedy film. Sofia Coppola directed and wrote this 2003 movie, which received plenty of critical acclaim. It even won an Oscar for its screenplay! We had a hard time believing the crew only had a budget of $4 million. At any rate, the film was a big success. Lost In Translation made $119.7 million, which translated to a huge amount of profit.
Friday The 13th – $700,000 Budget
Can you believe that Friday the 13th only had $700,000 to work with? It is one of the lowest budgets on this list. Victor Miller and Sean S.
