Knocked Up, a comedy about a young career woman (Katherine Heigl) who finds herself pregnant after a one-night stand with a chubby stoner (Seth Rogen), finished its first three days at $30.7 million - which happened to be, almost exactly, the movie's very modest budget.

On a separate trip to Cambridge in early October, she met with Faust, an old friend, over lunch at Upstairs on the Square. Soon after, Gutmann told the committee she supported Faust, the source said...
...modest $54,950, you could find yourself touring the wonders of China by private jet, accompanied by all-star tour guide and Dean of Harvard School of Public Health Barry R. Bloom. If this price is a little too steep, try a $19,000 tour of Antarctica’s icebergs and wildlife...
