      According to Wikipedia:

      It cost around $10 million to get the rights for the Beatles' songs to be featured in the film.

      I posted on The Beatles Mentioned On TV that the director said (on The Graham Norton Show) that the $10 million was the 2nd largest amount he’d paid out on a film. The 1st was Leonardo DiCaprio’s salary (in The Beach, which was $20 million!)

                Danny Boyle's musical fairy tale about a world without the Beatles, in which an indie rocker brings them back, is really a fantasy of rebooting the Beatles. It's cute and watchable, but it lacks the magic of discovery.

                    Yesterday is a sweet Beatles musical, but the whimsy turns sour

                                Ringo didn’t make up the phrase “Eight Days A Week” - that was Paul’s driver’s remark after Paul asked him how he was doing. He said he’d been working eight days a week.

                                  Looks like Paul "remembers" it two different ways.

                                  Curiously, McCartney had previously remembered the quote as coming from Ringo Starr.

                                  Linda McCartney: Ringo also said, 'Eight days a week.'
                                  Paul: Yeah, he said it as though he were an overworked chauffeur: [Heavy accent] 'Eight days a week.' When we heard it, we said, 'Really? Bing! Got it!'

                                    “Yesterday” is at times a witty, clever film. But as the story progresses, it begins to feel more like a series of scenes designed to set up John, Paul and George.
