Hollywood accounting is notoriously nontransparent. They do a bunch of accounting magic to make it look like the movie didn't turn a profit. This is because some people who work on the film (huge stars usually) get points or percentages of the profits. Well if the movie doesn't make any money you don't have to pay that person anything. Really huge stars can negotiate for gross points rather than net points and avoid all that.
