How do you make a movie, in 2014, for $200,000?
I mean, even if every cast member is paid points on gross, what about equipment, key grips, set design...?

Well, it made over 17 million, using your calculations, what was the payoff?

It paid a very shrewd $89.17, one of only 28 titles to pay better than $80 putting it in the top 1% in my movie ROI database now at 2800 titles from 1924 to 2022. And that's the thing - revenues of $17M in a year in which 66 titles averaged $264M in revenue is way low, so the producers knew they had to get into the can with a really low budget for any chance to make money. The average budget that year was $64M, so, even if they came in under a 3rd of that, ~$20M, they'd have lost money. I haven't seen the movie to get any sense of the quality of the screenplay, but regardless, I'm blown away they could do it at that amount.

Most of the reviews I read weren't very good. I haven't seen it myself but I'm not a fan of modern horror films.
I was hoping to find an article that might explain how they made it so cheaply but most of the outside links at the bottom return a page not found.
