Your claim now is that not just the internal PnL for films is obfuscated but both global box office numbers + public company reporting top-line revenue is as well? If you want to raise a bunch of VC money to open a movie studio because of that, good luck to you, but... doesn't seem like you'll get a lot of bites.

  >Where did I make a claim about the top line numbers? The claim I made was about "their revenue" - that's the top-line number. You disputed that by saying we don't know.

    Their revenue is hidden in shell and related companies. What revenue are you looking at the public profits of Disney?

    I should’ve been clearer. I meant the 10x part. Apologies.

It’s not VC money but you pretty much described Amazon, Netflix, and so on. If they are dumping money hand over fist into original content they probably have a good economic argument for it.
