But strangely, if you look at the history of the filmmakers who had stupendous success at the box office with their tiny movies, not many made a mark later in their careers. For example, what happened to the director of ‘The Blair Witch Project and ‘Paranormal Activity’? They still must be making movies, but nobody knows them. In any case, today we are going to look at movies that ideally — each one of them — should be placed on Guinness Book of World Records. Most of the movies struggle to make twice their budget, but these grossed more than 100 times their budget. Take a look:
1. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Total Box Office: $248,639,099
Budget: $60,000
2. Tarnation (2004)
Total Box Office: $592,234
Budget: $220
3. Paranormal Activity (2007)
Profit: $193,355,000

4. The Gallows (2015)
