That is an unbelievable budget How much of that was Bill Murray's paycheck? Because they made the entire movie with what was left.

could you elaborate ? presumably you are expecting us to infer that you are suggesting low production values. If so where do you think they scrimped ?

I'm not. I'm very impressed with the production value of this film given that the budget was so small. I don't think they skimped anywhere.

I watched the behind the scenes video on youtube and I'm surprised they did it for so little.
Even the flights and hotel rooms for the crew would be a big chunk
