If you look at how film are financed, you’ll see that it basically is money laundering and tax fraud. Short version is the studio sets up a production company, studio gives production company everything they need to make a film. Production company then let’s the studio use their new stuff, for a fee (think like $5 for a page of a script printed out). Studio now owes production company millions (the cost to produce the film), so studio never makes a profit on the production. Production company goes out of business because studio doesn’t pay them, so they eat the debt and folds.
