The October 2, 2009, issue of Entertainment Weekly had a small piece called “Shoestring Budget, Giant Box Office”. The films listed were “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Rocky”, “Mad Max”, “The Blair Witch Project” and “Napoleon Dynamite”. Only the “Blair Witch Project” made a bigger profit than “Rocky”.
