&gt; Profit margins for Hollywood aren&#x27;t that great<p>Avatar production cost:   $237,000,000 USD<p>Avatar global revenue : $2,787,965,087 USD<p>91% of Avatar&#x27;s total revenue was pure profit... practically unheard of in most industries.<p>Sure, Avatar is a unicorn, and sure studios often produce strike-out movies... but the occasional home-run more than makes up for them.<p>&gt; How do you justify spending $200 million on Force Awakens and hope to recoup that from Netflix fees?<p>Perhaps the $200 million production cost is unreasonable. We&#x27;ve all seen how many people and companies are involved in producing a single movie. The actor assistants have assistants that have assistants who have paid interns. One company will do a single character model while another goes a different character.<p>There&#x27;s so much waste in the movie industry... it&#x27;s ripe for the typical &quot;SV&quot; disruption (come in cheaper, and same or similar quality, and make it more easily accessible to the masses).
