And yet AFAIK little of that money makes it back to the creators. In the movies hit products pay millions to the stars, millions to the director. In games devs might get a small bonus after lots of overtime.
If I understand correctly it used to be the same in movies until the directors and stars started demanding more. IIRA United Artists was started because of these issues.
Also few games have the budget of movies. There's a few exceptions like say GTA5 or RD2 but mostly title for title game budgets are at least an order of magnitude lower than movies.
