A fully revised edition of the popular guide to Hollywood finances, updated to reflect even newer films and trends
In a Freakonomics -meets-Hollywood saga, veteran investigative reporter Edward Jay Epstein goes undercover to explore Hollywood’s “invisible money machine,” probing the dazzlingly complicated finances behind the hits and flops, while he answers a surprisingly difficult question: How do the studiosmake their money?

+ Why Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is considered a “masterpiece” of financing ...
