As everyone reading this certainly knows by now, Hollywood is ultimately a numbers game. In the conference rooms of the industry's movers and shakers, all talk of artistry and technical brilliance takes a backseat to simple mathematics - in short, "how much money will this film potentially make for myself and my investors, and what are the chances that it will succeed in a fickle marketplace?"
