Hollywood accounting pdf

Hollywood Accounting is the process in which
when a film is released by a studio(s), large profits
are made from the films box office, but the
financial statement on the film says that the film
was actually less profitable than it was. This
method is performed to hoard the profits for film
studios and the bigger stars in the film itself and to
underpay film staff. Is this fair.

Hollywood Accounting exploits labor in film because some of
those behind the scenes of film, and some even in front of the
camera are not compensated properly.

The Unionization and Organization Of Hollywood/Film
Industry Workers Will Draw Attention To This Issue And As
A Result, The Workers Will Be Compensated Properly.

Although Most Hollywood Workers Receive Pretty Fair

Current Wages.

It was reported that Warner Bros. Studio Used the method to
say that film “Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix
made less than it actually did. The film itself grossed almost
One Billion Dollars.

I Believe That Hollywood Accounting Only Exists To not
share proﬁts with key cast members and staff so that the
studio itself can proﬁt.

If Unionization itself doesn’t solve the
Hollywood Accounting Issue, Workers and Cast
Members alike should strike and holdout on
films.

The labor of Hollywood/ﬁlm industry workers are abused an
imposed on because of Hollywood Accounting.
