• World’s most profitable film made Rs 16,0000 crore, earned 1300000 times its budget, but actors were paid only Rs.., the director was…

This film is considered as the world’s most profitable film. It made a worldwide collection of Rs 16,000 crore. Later a giant production house invested 200,00 USD despite that actors were paid good enough. Here’s why.

A film is declared a blockbuster based on its box office collection. Specific earnings set up a range which later declares the film as a flop, no loss-no profit, superhit, and lastly blockbuster. Today we are talking about one such film which is considered the world’s most profitable film and it’s not Titanic, Avatar, or even Avengers Endgame. Can you guess which film are we talking about?

World’s most profitable film was made with $15,000

A film released back in 2007 is the world’s most profitable film. In terms of budget, this film was allocated Rs 12 lakh (15,000 USD). We are talking about the film Paranormal Activity. Director Oren Peli decided to make low-budget horror films by using mobile cameras and new faces in the industry. The director’s approach to the film was very simple, he did not use any big cameras with lighting instead he opted for a handheld camera to shoot the sequence. However, when it came to actors Oren Peli hired actors certified by SAG on a minimum wage basis.

You will be shocked to know that Paranormal Activity had a lot of improvisations. The film didn’t necessarily follow the script given by Oren Peli. Talking about CGI, the filmmaker used practical effects to bring life to horror sequences. Paranormal Activity was made with a mere budget of 15,000 USD. Later production house, Paramount Pictures invested a whopping 200,00 USD (approx Rs 16 crore) for post-production and marketing of the film.

The film premiered in theatres in September 2009 and it was loved by the audience. The film made a business of 194.2 million USD (approx Rs 16,000 crore). The film was loved by the audience due to the fresh context, raw footage, storyline, and paranormal sequences. Paranormal Activity turned out to be a massive success globally. The film alone made a profit of 1300000%. The film was later turned into a franchise where two more sequels were released which added another 600 million USD to their profit.

Why Paranormal Activity actors were paid less

Film director, Oren Peli starred two new actors due to a shortage in budget. He starred Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, who were struggling to get any hold of contracts at that time. Later on, Oren hired the two actors for minimum pay, and they ended up earning 500 USD for their casting.
