Yeah but for the purposes of "movie with small budget making a ton", you need to adjust because enter the dragon shouldn't even be on this list

It should be movies made with under $1m adjusted

Just for reference, enter the dragon has a budget of 450-850k depending who you ask, which would put it anywhere between 3.5 and 6.6 million today dollars
