It simple.
They fudge the accounts.
Old trick.
You see. They say the budget for the movie is 240 million. Actually, it is only 5 million.
You think I am bullshitting, eh? Lemme explain with an example.
The Indiana Jones crap from that woman. They say they made it for $300 million. That cannot be a fact. For one, the whole movie is on a green—or is it blue?—screen. So, yes, if they went and made it all over, it would cost that much. But all the pieces have been made previously. The train, the plane, the chase—everything. You only change the angle and the color and render it again. So reusing old pieces, they make a brand new movie for $5m.
It makes 280 m at the BO. On paper, it's a loss. But in reality, it makes tonnes of money. Black money.
And that's why all movies look so similar to one another.
