You're directly funding the lifestyles of everybody involved in everything you buy. I don't see this as a negative.
That said, the studio will probably get at least half of each of those $5, and I've known people who think absolutely nothing of renting movies for $5 multiple times per day, literally no cognitive difference between picking some $5 movie on iTunes and choosing another one on Netflix. Multiply that, e.g. 1% * $global, and pretty soon you're talking about real money for everybody.
$10-25million is nothing to pay an actor with a main part in a movie that may make $5 billion dollars for the studio.
