‘The Shawshank Redemption’
The 1994 adaptation of a Stephen King novella, “The Shawshank Redemption” only managed to make $16 million at the box office during its initial theatrical run – far below its $25 million budget. It was only after the movie was nominated for several Oscars that it got a second release and managed to earn $58.3 million, becoming the highest R-rated movie of the year.
