Back in those days, making yellow CGI eyes cost $10 million apiece. So that's $60 million right there for Nicholson, Pfeiffer and Spader.

And even at the time, computer effects were not where near that expensive. Terminator 2, released three years earlier, has 42 shots with CGI and all of them *combined* cost $5.5 million.
It was the reshoot, as I said above, which accounted for much of the film's budget. share
yeah the budget is completely nuts - it cost more than jurassic park!
shareToday this film would have been shot for $ 12 – 18 million, with even same level of high profile actors. Shot in 21-30 days.
This film was granted a $ 55 million budget ( not including the reshoot add ons) In the 1990 the studios made so much money it was a heyday. Everyone was paid well back in the days.
The going rate for a production was $ 500.000 per day. This film took 112 days to shoot including re-shoots. Jack Nicholson was paid $ 13 million.
Michelle Pfeiffer was paid less than $ 6 million.
