The film that showed us a little Abigail Breslin playing Olive, earned roughly $101 million, becoming one of the 00’s biggest box-office hits. The making of the movie revolving around the big-glasses little girl living in a slightly dysfunctional household, cost only $8 million. Quite good results, right?
