Yeah when i see “cost 112m” I interpret is as “the producers probaly siphoned 56mil to themselves from the films budget before a single copy was ever sold”
The Return of the Jedi grossed $482,466,382 and yet David Prowse has never received a penny in residuals because of the absurd “distribution fees” charged to the production company by 20th Century Fox. It apparently never made any profit.
Right, but isn’t there literally a saying about how fucked up the ‘accounting’ is for movies? Something along the lines of “hollywood accounting”…
I wouldn’t trust the ‘profits’ or ‘costs’ of any of those movies as far as I could throw them.
