Before the film was in production, Paramount Pictures had been going through an unsuccessful period. Their latest mafia based movie, La fratellanza (1968), had been a box-office bomb. In addition, the studio had usurped their budget for their recent films: Operazione crepes suzette (1970), La ballata della città senza nome (1969), and Waterloo (1970). The budget for the film was originally two and a half million dollars, but as the book grew in popularity, and Coppola argued for a larger budget, the budget was raised to six million dollars.
