I think it would be interesting to see rise of actors' fees over that period of time. Sure cable companies make money but most money seems to be going to TV networks and in turn TV actors.

Most of the cost of blockbusters is marketing.

> Hollywood continues to wrestle with rising marketing costs, particularly overseas, which can make up 70 percent of a film's gross.

I would not be surprised if they did that to move money into the "costs" column for the movie, while still funneling value into advertising companies owned by the parent.

Do you have figures on that? I would surprise me if actor salaries were major cost, but I don't know the industry.

I bet pro athletes, sports leagues, and college conferences take home more of the money than actors.
