Here's what I found; "we do know that securing music rights for Forrest Gump was notably expensive. The film featured over 30 iconic tracks spanning the 1950s to the 1980s—hits from Elvis Presley, The Doors, Bob Dylan, and others. Music supervisor Joel Sill once noted in interviews that the cost for music rights alone was in the millions of dollars. Some sources estimate the budget for licensing the soundtrack ranged between $1.5 to $3 million, a substantial portion of the film’s $55 million production cost. The investment paid off—not only did the music help anchor the film in its historical eras, but the Forrest Gump soundtrack became a best-selling double album in its own right." 7/8/25
