Pretty Woman
What\\’s not to love about Pretty Woman? This 1990 rom-com directed by Garry Marshall followed the story of a sex worker who a businessman hired to be his escort as he attends events and functions. This contract included both parties taking trips to different locations, so they built a complicated relationship.
The movie received mixed reviews but was still a commercial success and the third highest-grossing film when it was released. It also set a record of being the first romantic comedy to sell the highest number of tickets at an estimated sales of 42,176,400. Pretty Woman boasts of all these successes and $463.4 million in the box office against a budget of $14 million. This is the lowest budget on this list so far, yet the profit comes close to most other movies on the list. Impressive!
