Is Hollywood just a big money-laundering operation?

the entire monetary system is literally nothing but a money (read: wealth) laundering system.
so yes. hollywood is a big human trafficking and propaganda operation that also launders money.

central bank mafia prints money. gives it to assiociates (powerful and rich people, largely jews), they lend it to poors and wealth creating people with interest enslaving them and extracting their wealth while the pleb gets poorer and poorer. anything in between helps facilitate this mechanism. hollywood, institutions, school based on the prussian education system etc etc.

The upper class is growing at the largest rate while the middle class is shrinking though. Plus it seems like every 20 something year old is making six figures in some tech job these days in the US at least. There’s a lot of money to be made out there.

why would it have anything to do with money laundering? because they said it would need to make 2 billion to break even and its projected to make between 1.8 and 2.2 billion box office? it's about the merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made

Are you from 2000? This has meant decreasingly less and will continue to as wages stagnate but you're paying $12 per gallon of gas and your weekly grocery bill is pumping like a shitcoin.

$100k is the new $50k, anon. My Grandfather made $11k annually in 1971 as a high school teacher. Adjusted for inflation that is $76k in 2021 dollars. That's more than I make as an engineer. Shit is bad out here.

It cost $250-350m to make.
Why the fuck would it need to take $2b to 'break even'?
That was just Cameron bumping his gums to give the Press a good quote. It's aberrant nonsense, factually, but he's good at PR bullshit. Which is why 2 of the Top 3 all-time grossing films are also his.

Hollywood prints money, yet they don’t pay any tax because they fuck with the accounting.
Meanwhile, the content they produce is nothing but socialist propaganda meant to demoralize the white middle class people who actually pay for their entertainment.

At this point though, Hollywood is just a tool the Jewish studio execs use to traffic brain dead starlets and push their satanic agenda on the goyim.
Anything they promote is the inverse of a good and healthy society.
They work with governments to prepare the West for massive control, immigration, and clown world level immortality that will result in a diminished and enslaved populace controlled by a small cadre of Jewish overlords.

idk when the first one came out it was genuinely extremely impressive to watch in 3d from a special effects perspective. thats a lot harder to achieve now. Not because 3d movies ever became popular just because impressive special effects are ubiquitous now.

Because Cameron wants to make multiple sequels and needs this one to outperform to prove it's worthwhile.
It isn't enough to make a profitable theatrical release anymore for the studios. Every blockbuster has to be a multi-billion dollar franchise that can compete with Star Wars, MCU, and DCU.
