" "Prom Pact," a B-grade teen movie on the Disney Channel."

I don't think this is comparable to LotR, this isn't a blockbuster movie it's a trashy disposable low budget teen movie.

These CG extras are probably cheaper per unit than the old "stick two rows of humans in front of a dozen rows of cardboard cutouts" trick they've been using for decades.
