Well this certainly isn't true. Hollywood has grown hugely over the last 20 years (with a massive crash during COVID):

It looks like it is on track to recover completely this year:

you are looking at the wrong stuff, box office revenues go to Motion Picture companies and Hollywood fat cats like harvey weinstein.

just look at labor data: it is not pretty. $28/hr mean pay in Hollywood! Much less in other areas.

There is a reason why successful actors prefer to become producers/directors: because it pays better to be your own boss, rather than be at a mercy of union. and you don't have to engage in high end prostituion and literally sell your ass to people like Weinstein and Epstein, just to get a role at a high profile movie.
