Completely depends on their contract, they could get a flat fee, they could get $1 every time it's streamed, they could get a % of gross/net/profit...
Studios usually try to do the % of profit/net thing when they can't pay upfront and they want to shift the risk to the actors/crew (bad risk and good risk). Sometimes it works out for the actors, sometimes not.

Just watched it, it was good, but not the greatest movie ever. For its budget it was very solid. I’d recommend it.

The digital release has a commentary from the director, listened to it last night. Not sure if that's only available on certain platforms, bought it on Google and watched it on Apple TV (thanks Movies Anywhere). It had a DVD-like menu to start it, need more of this stuff from digital releases.

I was about to post the same thing 'cause it was the first thing I noticed, too. That would be wild if it's not adjusted.

You can’t adjust it without breaking the scale. Instead of “budget under 1mil” you’d have to just rank by ratio of gross to budget.
said another way, if you adjust enter the dragon and it is indeed 1.6bil in today’s dollars, then it is not “budget under 1 mil,” its budget is 3mil.

Marketing maybe? I remember going and seeing it in the theater back in the day, and at the time there were constant advertisements for it.

65k production budget. Rest was marketing from Artisan and they made every dollar count. I know people believed that shit was real based on trailers. They had a internet tie ins in 1999, they actors literally stayed out of the public and IMDB had them listed as missing presumed dead. Its probably the best movie marketing job of all time

The Blair Witch marketing was genius - like Juvarisx mentions, it was so good that people legitimately thought it was real found footage and they were going to watch a movie about people getting ganked in the woods. Pretty much a right time, right place sort of movie that would be hard to replicate today.
