Exactly. This movie didn't quadruple its budget because they had to pay the rights for a few songs lol.A biz article claims that major studios pay between $15,000 to $60,000 for the rights to a song. Taking the bigger value X 15, that would be $900,000. So, a relatively small part of a $200M movie. A good chunk of this particular budget seems to be going to salaries.
