Yup. $1m is nothing. We live in a world where movies have $100m marketing budgets, game companies invest hundreds of millions into esports events and other material, and tiny companies are bought out "just in case" for similar amounts.
$1m to generate some publicity and attract talent? Sure. They're probably paying headhunters similar amounts in comissions each year.
- taeric 3y agoMovies have very real returns that are trivial to see from box office results and merchandizing. Not to mention they have famously perverse incentives to spend as much of the profit from a movie as they can, due to how a lot of the royalties are structured. More to the point, though, this is a bit of a tangent/deflection from my question. How do you assert the return on this $1m? This line simply says that no return was needed for it to be spent. It shows nothing to say how you calculate what is made from it.
