Because most of the box office of these films comes from China. But to get your film released in Chinese cinema you have to pay the Chinese government something insane like 95% of anything it makes.

According to Lucasfilm, Return of the Jedi, despite having earned $475 million at the box office against a budget of $32.5 million, "has never gone into profit"

wtf i hate jews now
how many times will we have this thread
read 'The Hollywood Economist'.
it's not rocket science.
in-studio distributors (P&A) charge the production company (a one-off company) whatever they need to zero out the net-net so net players don't get a payout.
that's how the free market works you commieshit
Hollywood is fucking corrupt as fuck.
They have drugs to scam you
They have degenerate sex for sale (children,etc)
They try to blackmail you or discover everyone you ever slept with drug/persuade them to bring up a lawsuit against you
They have a culture of peer pressure to get you into these things and once you are hooked its almost impossible to get out

And yet you, I and probably most of us would gladly work within their confines were we able to do so. May I suggest go to a questionable party. Don'ot do anything illegal yourself but be there and let them know you were there so that if something illegal went down they would believe they have you in some sort of bind, that way they'll have something on you that you could live with instead of having someone drug you with essence of Cosby and the next thing you know you're being spit roasted by a a trio of negroes.
