    A fully revised edition of the popular guide to Hollywood finances, updated to reflect even newer films and trends

    In a Freakonomics-meets-Hollywood saga, veteran investigative reporter Edward Jay Epstein goes undercover to explore Hollywood's "invisible money machine," probing the dazzlingly complicated finances behind the hits and flops, while he answers a surprisingly difficult question: How do the studiosmake their money?

    + Why Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered a contract genius…

    + The fate of serious fare: How HBO, AMC, and Showtime have found ways to make money offer adult drama, while the Hollywood studios prefer to cater to teen audiences.

    + Why Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is considered a "masterpiece" of financing ...
