Don't be a cultural morlock living in reaction against whatever is popular. They're westerns with magic, shit isn't trying to be high art.

    consider M.Night Shamalayan’s “Unbreakable”.

    Budget - $75 million

    Maybe it's a trick question. I guess, mid-budget and low-budget movies are their own niche and they succeed by giving the audience something they don't get with blockbusters, not by making Spiderman, but with worse effects...

      I guess part of the problem is the $60M budget line.

      I had to go out over a thousand movies before I could find one under $60M.

      That said, as soon as I did, I found Deadpool. Also, two Superman movies and Blade 2. V for Vendetta and some of the Resident Evil movies are down here, as well.
