Hello, I just wonder if this construct, 'out + amount of money' is an usual one and can be used in normal conversation?
I know the meaning. It means 'lost one and a half million dollars' here. (Could it be Bela dropped 'of' from 'out of'?)

BELA Thanks very much. I'm out one and a half million, and on the bad side of a very powerful, fairly psychotic buyer.
DEAN Wow. I really don't feel bad about that. Sam?
SAM Nope. Not even a little
