>>Most movies don't make a profit. But everyone involved makes money. They do this to screw the small fish that might have a % agreement and/or for tax purposes. So ABC Movie makes no money for Disney but (say) Disney Productions made $XX million to produce it, Disney Promotions $XX to promote it and so on. In the end it all went to Disney' pockets, but the movie lost money.
