Other movies will balance this out though by making a loss - that's the business model. The interesting thing would be the average profit margin across all films at a studio or the industry.
- nkozyra 6y agoThe business model is assuredly not to break even, so I contest "balance this out." There is risk involved and while some films flop the outcome has historically been significant profit.
- thejynxed 6y agoWell yes, because they get creative with the accounting and those movies that hit $500+ million suddenly turn zero profit come time to pay taxes while some B or C film that costs a few paltry million at most to make and shovel right onto streaming services and net them $90 mil tops are what they pay taxes on, because they made a "profit".
- toyg 6y ago> the outcome has historically been significant profit. Nobody is entitled to profit. Ask candlemakers.
- nkozyra 6y agoNothing of the sort was suggested.
