First they don’t have to pay anything to the author in royalties as the copyrights have expired
Not necessarily true. After repeated bribes to Congress copyrights now last a LONG time.
Total Recall was made in 1990 and again in 2012. I doubt any royalties expired.

Copyrights may last a long time, but Ben-Hur was first published in 1880. Author died in 1905.
