Coming down the pipe is a pretty damn revolutionary zombie flick that was made for under 100 bucks if I recall. Had film festivals up in arms and a super fucking high buzz.
There is a whole new breed of film makers that can really thank Kevin Smith for breaking that barrier. Hollywood is really paying attention to the indies out there with a camera and a story. They do not understand the concept of huge budgets, and huge to them is in the thousands not the hundreds of thousands or millions.
Pretty sure you could hand someone like Smith or any of these new people 500 million and a contract, they would send you film after film that makes money several times a year and it would barely touch the damn interest. They only spend the money if you force them.
