They now decided to add the Marketing budget, which is usually a lot higher than it actually is, because the big studios do cross advertisement through their own affiliates and subsidiaries.
One of the main reasons they do is to limit the amount of money they have to payout on the Back end to those being paid based on performance.
Typical Hollywood Accounting.
There was an internal report that leaked last year showing how one of Harry Potter Movies was not profitable. It was a total joke, as the film had made over 900 mill worldwide without DVD sales and TV Rights. This was all to limit the money they had to payout to other partners who partake in Performance based compensation.
