You must think this through.
Studios are owned by BIG
global companies.

From their point of view,
the market-role of movies
is to generate

advertising hooks
and attention-getting "buzz,"
both of which support

the over all scene,
that is, the much larger scene,
the total market.

The revenues of
this or that one-off movie
are incidental.

Just as departments
within a company don't
all create profits

(but all contribute
to the larger enterprise
which does make profits)

Hollywood-at-large
doesn't have to "make profits"
because it's a part

of much larger things --
the global corporations.
Hollywood is just

one "department," and
if they make money, that's great,
but if they do not,

that's great too, if they
continue to contribute
advertising and

buzz and star-making
and all the side-effect crap
Hollywood's great at.
