dudalb Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 We can differ on the exact amount, but what is clear is that film need so gross A LOT more than it actual production cost of just break even. In the end, the only profit number that really matters is the overall profit of a film studio at the end of the year . But, yeah, Hollywood accounting is wonky. Things are done in the film industry which if you even tried in any other industry would get you a quick trip to Club Fed for fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
