I tend to agree that baiting is a bit below the belt, but then again undercover cops posing as ladies of the night,

If you wanted this analogy to work in this scenario, it'd have to be "undercover cops posing as ladies of the night .... in Nevada!"

I don't think it will have recouped it's £25,000,000 in DVD sales/rentals . I can't imagine how it could have cost that much in the first place though as it was crap! :P

The key is the (estimated).

I know the figures are way off. Let's use Bambi or Lady & the Tramp. Those movies were known to have made a profit before being released on VHS. You can find this easily. But the DVD release is still being sold for $20+. It's to pay for other movies? That's bull because the money figures when placed against a pie chart don't send anything to production costs. Marketing isn't that big of a chunk either. After mark-up production and everything, the biggest chunk goes for company profit. Odd thing is, I've been looking for something showing company profit being reinvested back into the company. The closest thing were high end dividends directly to higher-up Disney employees.

I'm still looking a Paramount, WB, New Line, and a few others, but DIsney has been such an easy target.
