Everything Everywhere All At Once, currently in theaters, had a $25 million budget, and has made a respectable $38 million in the theater so far, enough that some articles are calling it a box office hit.

Also in 2019 there was Knives Out, which had a budget of $40 million and made $311 million in the box office.

I agree with your overall point, just giving a couple more examples.



Until recently, Denis Villeneuve's movies were in this range as well:

* Prisoners: US$ 46M

* Sicario: US$ 30M

* Arrival: US$ 47M

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Villeneuve#Reception

His first three movies were <$7M. He went up market (>$160M) with BR2049 and Dune.
