Blumhouse is the only big name actively doing 5-10 million movies.

Their trick is that they give a percentage to the actors and director and just a flat basic fee. Even "big" stars like Jennifer Lopez didn't get a million up front - she actually even used her own clothes for her Blumhouse horror movie.

They make a few flops, but their hits offset those easily. Paranormal Activity (their first one I think?) had a budget of $15k and made over $190 million in the box office.
