    Here's a clue: Movie studios have, for decades, used "creative accounting" to make it so that even hit movies never manage to break even, thus depriving the creative people of their "percentage of profits." A few have dared to sue, but most figure that it isn't worth the ill will. (The sentence "You'll never work in this town again" runs through their minds.)

    Wow! you have to be pretty creative to have Gigli make a profit. I bet I could count the house on one hand for Gigli! and those people walked into the wrong theater!
