Empire Strikes Back is on the list of movies that still haven't turned a profit, based on this system of accounting.
i see.

well, i see but i don't see where all the money is flowing. because that wiki doesn't really align with the article in the op. spielberg says it's about to implode due to costs. but that wiki says hollywood creatively adjust costs down.

who get's all the damn money? !!
