Re: Hollywood : They still make money.
that's where you are wrong.
According to Hollywood accounting rules very few or even NO films released by Hollywood make money. Yet the studio moguls still have their private jets and mansions in Bel-Air...?
Even the Harry Potter franchise while amongst the biggest grossing movies of all time didn't make much (if any) profit simply due to the way the accounts are put together.
Yes, us mortals know they make money but officially they don't.
