This commercial analysis treats the title as an exceptional low-budget/high-return case, so the return multiple should be read as an outlier rather than a normal blockbuster comparison. — Tiny reported budget amplified the return multiple.
Note: the recorded budget is extremely low, so the return multiple appears unusually large compared with big-budget films.
