hollywood math

the financial engineering in hollywood and showbiz boggles the mind....

numbers are twisted to overstate success or
understate earnings, depending on the desired result. intricate international loopholes (which has since been tied up) allow for risk averse film production.

another gimmick utilized is 'gross participation' which can make stars lotsa money or not as much as hoped. but at times, stars 'sacrifice' for their art
