Citation? Not saying it’s impossible, but highly unlikely a UPN show made that much money in a 10 year span

It says it made 700 Million over the 24 years, not over the 10 years it ran

This cartoon scene always stuck with me.

Hollywood's absolutely bizarre accounting tactics are under renewed scrutiny | CNN Business

“Forrest Gump” has never made a single penny for the studio that made it, despite selling over $300 million worth of tickets at the box office. “Return of the Jedi” was a similarly monumental financial flop. Same goes for at least one Harry Potter film. All of them wildly popular, yet wildly...
