This article screams a lack of understanding of finances.
A finished movie doesn't cost $0 to release. There is considerable spend on promotion, distribution, etc. If you don't do it, then movie revenues would be much lower.
It doesn't make sense to spend $10M to make say $30M, when just destroying the film gets you $30M in tax benefits.
- darick 3y agoFrom my reading of the article they had offers to buy the film which were more than the $30M tax benefit, but they declined them. If they sell the rights they don't have to handle release.
