Well, let's be realistic here. A lot of the big Hollywood shit does produce a lot of money, but there is so much laundering, fraud etc. involved that the viewers -- who have grown bored with Hollywood, instead choosing to return to video games, books, foreign media, etc. -- cannot make up for the deficit.
Most of these movies with $500M budgets wouldn't spend that kind of cash if there weren't such shadiness in the industry, not to mention marketing is retardedly expensive because everyone involved realized they could get paid more, so they charge more.
And then the stars who make tens of millions of dollars on their own, hoo boy.
Low production cost = making a proffit
A lot of the big Hollywood shit makes nothing.
