So yes, let’s pay artists directly

Where does the money come from to actually make the movie?

Based on actual ticket prices, from producers that expect to triple their investment I guess. Us idiots are fantasizing about ~10% while they're hitting triple digit percentages.

The movie production has to be paid for before the movie hits theaters. Again, where exactly does that money come from?
