Our movie is based on the Blue Lagoon.
I know their budget was like 4.5 million, but how do you figure?

Camera rental/purchase, use of sets, CG, accessories for sets, salaries of actors/actresses (unless they get paid based on revenue), etc. pretty much anything you’d expect to find in a movie budget.
