All the low budget productions that used to fill out Blockbuster Video are now filling out Netflix and Amazon.

I always wondered who actually rented those movies and how they made money. I guess the formula still works because people must be watching them on Netflix...

There is a lot of money to be made in low budget productions. Because the market of consumers is big and the cost to produce them are low. And you occasionally end up with a blockbuster and have something like Paranormal Activity that cost $15k to make and made millions in the box office.
