* SleeperHit: When the first film was initially released, the results were a bit disappointing, only opening at sixth and dropping heavily week two. However, word of mouth caught up, and during its run it kept maintaining around that spot, and even after dropping out of the top 20 in one week, it bounced back to ''top ten'' in the following. The legs it held on were so surprising that the studio bought more theaters than they planned near the end of its run, and it ended up making four times its budget back.
