I didn't click through the article but I think what MaDalton is referring to is Hollywood Accounting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting
The studios set things up so that it always looks like the movie hasn't made a profit, which means to don't have to pay out to certain people at certain times.
Empire Strikes Back is on the list of movies that still haven't turned a profit, based on this system of accounting.
