Not a director, but producer Val Lewton was given (from RKO) a budget, a time
frame, and a title: Cat People. The production was completed on time and under
budget, and earned a lot of money for the studio.
I'm sure there are likely to be other examples, though.

Read the history... it was not a cheap rubber shark. The film was
horrendously over budget and schedule, mostly to do with that cheap rubber
shark and the horrors of shooting on water (ask Kevin Reynolds or Kevin

What is low budget depends on who you talk to. $10-20 million is
moderately low. For a studio level film, it's positively tiny. Even for
a lot of small companies, it's considered low budget. I've dealt with
companies that if a film isn't over $10 million, they won't consider
distributing it
You guys don't seem to be getting my point: If 99.9% of all the films that
get made in any given year have a budget less than $5 or 10 million - you
can't go calling $20 million 'low budget' -even if it is low by Hollywood
standards (and do you really think that I don't know what the average
