That they lost money on the film.

  If you spent a bunch of time and resources making a movie, and then decide to shred it, did you not lose money?

    If I burn down my house, I lose money. Should I be able to claim insurance on that?
    • gruez 3y ago
      If your insurance policy covers that (unlikely because of this exact situation), then sure.

        No insurance company in the world will pay out insurance if you commit arson against your own house because that's stupid. Same thing should apply here. Destroying a film to get a tax break at the very least should incur penalties

          The penalty is that they lose money at the end of the day. It is not a sustainable business practice.
