This film had one of the most expensive budgets of all time. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will have made around $90 million less worldwide than it otherwise would have thanks to a rising dollar and plunging foreign currencies. So barring the above-noted foreign exchange issues, the third and final Peter Jackson Hobbit film would have crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. But "sadly" it sits at $939m worldwide and it may not make it to the milestone. But whether or not the film makes it over the hump, the Hobbit trilogy has been incredibly successful on a domestic and worldwide stage. The three-film trilogy cost around $765m to produce and made $2.916b worldwide thus far. Yet no one seems to have paid it much attention. This is as good a time to remind everyone that the Middle Earth prequel trilogy may have been an artistic disappointment, but it was an unmitigated financial grand-slam for all parties. From my research I have discovered that there was an estimated budget of 250 million USD, which is a substantial and unbelievable amount of money.
Alternatively, there are low budget films such as ' A Nightmare On Elms Street' which can be summed up to Nancy Thompson and a group of her friends including Tina Gray, Rod Lane and Glen Lantz are being tormented by a clawed killer in their dreams named Freddy Krueger. Nancy must think quickly, as Freddy tries to pick off his victims one by one.
The original A Nightmare on Elm Street had a budget of just $1.8M and some of its special effects, though convincing at the time, look shoddy today. It's the simplest touches which still have an impact, however - Freddy's ghostly face leering out of the wall above a sleeping Nancy, the "eeeeeee" sound of the knives on metal objects, and the red-and-green striped hood coming down over the car at the end, these all were the main aspects of its success which can be accumulated as a whopping $25,504,513; the biggest success in horror film history.
