So presumably, only $4 dollars a month is more than enough to cover the cost of producing all Hollywood movies - ignore of course, all other sources of revenue such as cinema tickets and product placement etc.
Is marketing and distribution online really 9x the cost of producing the movie itself?

Jokes aside, this is a very interesting calculation - it seems the issue with a system like this would be the monopoly and centralization, as the numbers themselves stack up quite ok.
And marketing costs are huge and for some reason not included in the film budget.
In 2020, people are consuming "movies" and "television" like they're the same thing. You have to include those in the cost.
Finally, if you're including worldwide subscribers, you have to include worldwide producers, not just Hollywood.
Other movies will balance this out though by making a loss - that's the business model. The interesting thing would be the average profit margin across all films at a studio or the industry.
There is risk involved and while some films flop the outcome has historically been significant profit.
Nobody is entitled to profit. Ask candlemakers.
