Point on the net are points on nothing. Everyone has known this for 20 years now, so all points are on the gross.
As a result, Hollywood has started manipulating the gross numbers to hide money.
The Lord of the Rings lawsuit was over the right to audit the books to detect such fraud. No studio will ever actually let you look at the books. Period. If you sue they’ll drag it out then settle.

If you sue they’ll drag it out then settle. I used to have Hollywood studios as clients. This is blatantly false. Hollywood is built on two things: money and relationships. A studio that screws someone over is quickly out of business because no one will do business with them again. If you have sufficient clout, you get to see the books. If you invest sufficient money, you get to see the books. If you're anyone else, you're not in a position to care what's in the books since you get paid whether or not the films does well.
