Because Paranormal Activity was a film festival movie, the budget was extremely low, at a mere $15,000. Paranormal Activity however, raked in $193,311,485 worldwide as their gross revenue.
Paranormal Activity was one of the first films to capitalize on the "found footage" genre. Much like the Blair Witch Project, which was also very successful, Paranormal Activity is filmed to look like a home video. This led to many people believing that it was actually true. Because of this fact, people flocked to the theaters to see it. The director decided to dedicate the movie to Micah and Katie to give it even more of a sense of realism. The marketing tricks worked. The movie only cost $15,000 to make, but has grossed more than $100 million so far!
$10,000 - $15,000, according to numerous websites, magazines, and papers. However, it should be noted that movie budgets are not public information, and the actual cost may be much higher. When a small film comes out of nowhere and makes a lot of money, like this one, it's common Hollywood practice to make the budget seem as small as possible, thus inflating total reported profit and making audiences feel even more amazement over what the filmmakers were able to do "with so little money." So the actual answer probably should be: only the producers and accountants know.
The Production Budget for Night at the Museum was $110,000,000.
