I don’t really want to set specific parameters but I don’t mean movies with comparatively small but basically normal Hollywood budgets that were huge hits, which would apply to some comedies. I also don’t mean movies that didn’t really make money at the time and became famous later. Horror movie examples:

Night of the Living Dead
Halloween
Friday the 13th
The Blair Witch Project

These has tiny budgets and were hits.
