Haven’t you heard? All movies lose money. I know a director who shot 5 weeks on location then moved to Hollywood for editing, etc. He was ahead of schedule and under budget. In one week he was over budget according to the suits. One executive was shown a rough cut of the film and the production was charged $75,000. That’s how they do it.

Yep. Disney is happy as a clam to have something to "write off" against the earnings of their profitable films.
If they can jack the "loss" from 'John Carter' up to $300M, they will.
