Adjusted for inflation, the budget for the trilogy would be around $450 million, which still doesn't seem to bad considering the scale of it.

450 million dollar spread over 10,5 hours of film. That's about 64 million dollar per regular film length (90 mins), which is a very tight budget for a filmof that size in a complex universe like that.

M$/film is a weird metric, but it works.

Way more than 10.5 hours. The full extended edition is 12 hours long, and in the commentary PJ kept hinting at an even longer 25th anniversary edition where they'll add in even more deleted scenes.

I think it helped that none of the cast were huge stars at the time.
