Usually movies filmed in studio(PROMETHEUS) costed LESS money than movies filmed on real places(ROBIN HOOD).
Very untrue. Unless you want a very specific location where... the owners ask money
The studio is a day-fee and studios tends to take a huge amount of time to create.
1000 a day for 30 days in small studios is 30 000 just for the place.
So imagine you have to create multiple sets.
For natural settings, production usually film in locations where there are tax rebates.
Like
New Zealand...
Australia... Canada... France you know
You also get tax rebates if you
hire some crew/company from the country you're shooting in.
What costs a lot in movies are Big heads salary (actors/directors/special crew) asking Millions.
Then there's the obvious amount of people you hire.
Prometheus has over 2000 people credited.
2000 x salary x months worked on the project = a lot.
Producers try to save every penny on a production, from food to vehicles, hotels... of course the VIP personal, like actors and directors gets special treatments but it impact very few compared to the work force that is there daily working hours for months on the film.
