About the book

Veteran investigative reporter Edward J. Epstein goes undercover to find the answer to a puzzling question - why do even the biggest grossing movies barely break even and as such, how does Hollywood make money? Epstein penetrates the dazzlingly complicated economics of Hollywood to uncover an invisible money making machine - the bizarre financial schemes behind the hits and flops, such as studios harvesting the silver from old film prints.
