9. Only 5,000 Copies
Charles Webb’s 1963 novella, The Graduate, only sold 5,000 copies prior to the film’s release. Upon reading the novella, which consists mostly of dialogue and very little exposition, director Nichols called it “totally original” but then decided to transform it into a movie. The book’s homophobic rants were written out of the screenplay by Buck Henry, along with additional changes made to the story itself.
