Re: Praise the Indie!
>Original was 'cheap',
It was an $11MM budget in 1977. Other top-10 films that year had budgets of $3MM to $25MM.
Wasn't "big budget" like Close Encounters of the Third Kind or A Bridge Too Far. Wasn't small budget like Smokey & The Bandit or Saturday Night Fever.
Lots of $5MM movies are being made today. For Netflix.
