Due to Hollywood’s creative accounting, we’ll never know what their true profit. For example, a hugely successful Return of the Jedi is technically not profitable despite earning $475 million at the box office against a budget of $32.5 million.
Sure, it is difficult to estimate their profits, but they can be approximated. From a statistics point of view, using revenue instead of profit doesn’t allow for a meaningful comparison.
Yes, this chart is either intentionally misleading or ignorance. There are plenty of good reasons to support the protests that don’t require distorting facts.
edit: I assume the downvotes are from people who don’t understand the difference between revenue and profit.
Revenue is kind of useless when discussing this, what are the profit margins?
