Operational hiccups like stopping production can cost up to $250,000/d for a larger-budget movie and many such events can occur.
Since within the movie industry, it is the producers that take on the financial responsibility should an on-set incident, accident, or emergency situation occur.
So producers have to mitigate the situation by working with insurers who charge premiums which can range from one percent to four percent of a movie’s budget, depending on the outcome of their risk estimation. For example, if an actor is  a ‘problem actor’ and the insurance company rules them to be a “risk beyond usual range”. Then the insurance premium will rise significantly.
Cast insurance for $100 million movie might cost $350,000 for ten to twelve actors. However, This could rise to anywhere from $700,000 to one million dollars with the addition of one ‘problem actor’.
