I remember that movie being a huge phenomenon for like a year.

I think the reason the returns were so high was because it was super cheap to make! No special effects... just a bunch of no-name actors, some food, and a bottle of windex, haha

edit: The article says the budget was $6m, which is super low for a film that grossed 1/4 as much as Lord of the Rings
