    It’s literally all tax-related. Every single thing, not just Hollywood and movies.

    If something doesn’t make sense to us, it probably makes sense to the people who actually do the math on a regular basis.

      Yeah.

      An anecdote: AT&T was having a fire sale on the base iPhone 16 Plus, like so cheap that it must have been a loss. It didn’t make any sense to me, but an employee speculated that, since it was their worst selling model of the lineup, they were clearing the inventory and writing it off as a loss to compensate for some other transactions.
