Money can be made != barely broke even then, which is where this was going. How much "profit" becomes "success" was another matter. The point (latest point, anyway) about V's 16million was that it was closer to "making money" than "breaking even".

The missing piece here Ani, is that we don't know how you can vouch for Hollywood (because you are evidently not Hollywood). Money is money. Hollywood may want to target the US market if they're the bigger movie-goers with large spendings on movies, but that simply means they go for where the money's at.
