In the commentary track on the DVD, they say that the budget was $4 million (though IMDB says $4.5)...
They also talk about how "people worked for nothing" and "nobody made a dime", but folks went through with it "because of the material"...

Drew Barrymore also put up some of her own money to help fund the film... And really, her and Patrick Swayze were the only two "big names" as far as films are concerned... There were a couple more fairly big TV personalities, but Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal weren't exactly big names at the time...
