Hey guys. Just had a questions if anyone knows what the cost is per day to rent at a backlot at a major studio company is. I am doing some reasearch for an idea that I have. I know it is expensive, but I can never seem to find a correct dollar amount.
Call the backlot facilities coordinator. Here are the production group numbers for the big studios. You'll find, for the most part, that their facilities coordinators are terrific people to work with. Cost per day ranges from $1k to $5k depending on whether you're in prep, shoot or wrap and the number of technicians you require from the studio. Know in advance that some staffers, including fire services, are required and can't be brought in from the outside.
