That 'Mando "movie" was clearly cobbled together from scenes from the TV show.
Some accountant pulled their funding and said, "Just take what you got and chop it up into a movie. Not another dime!"
I forgot which critically acclaimed movie it was, but when the director was interviewed, they said that they had to be creative with the limited budget they had and the execution of that creativity is a reason it did so well.
I take it you're referring to A New Hope, right?
That was most movies before 2015-ish. The Matrix was originally written as a trilogy. WB didn't really "get" the story and the Wachowski's were convinced they weren't going to get funded for a sequel, so they put everything into the first (and only) movie. 28 Days Later is another one made for $8m; some scenes were filmed without a permit. Drive is another example (it's a masterpiece!) that only had a $13m budget. NWR focused heavily on pacing and sound design to make the few action scenes really stand out.
... back when filmmaking was a real art, you know?
Some of the best movies ever were made for what they now waste on marketing alone.
Not a movie, but Kemono Friends had a budget of 5000 yen and a piece of string. It somehow became the most-watched anime of the season.
Serval-chan sleeping in a tree at 0:26 is too adorable!
They had art from the game and just ported it in. The simple art let us viewers concentrate of the story and dialogue. I loved Se.01a lot! The other seasons were disappointing though.
Primer? Blair Witch Project? Eraserhead? Coherence?
There's been a few really good movies with little to zero budgets. Putting $100M efforts to shame. I've seen those 4, they're highly recommended!
Another Earth looks good too, am downloading it now 🙂
