Theyre claiming $24mm of unitemized production costs for a decades old show, and claiming a mere $16mm revenue “net of distribution costs” and they own the networks theyre distributing on. He should have this audited.
That's standard operating procedure. Harry Potter losing money is the one that kills me the most :dead:

Man I hate puff pieces that scratch the surface. No shyt they reported larger expenses than the profits to arrive at a loss, but is it legit? shytty ass article just labels it “Hollywood accounting” with no real explanation of what’s going on. They cite an abnormally high interest charge for the Harry Potter film but that’s about it.

Common sense tells me it’s example 4080 of American corporations exploiting loopholes to avoid paying taxes and screw over the people who worked to earn those profits, but the article does little to illustrate this. What passes as journalism in the internet age can be ridiculously abysmal. :scust:

Most "journalists" don't know shyt, and if you happen to find the ones who you learn do actually know shyt when you read and listen between the lines of what they read and say, even they don't tell the full story because of the fear of losing access.

You'll never get the full story when something goes right, you'll only get the full story when something goes wrong and the person/people they're exposing no longer hold any weight in the industry.
