John Cusack offered up a story of corporate greed that he says is a continuous problem in the movie industry.
From boombox to soapbox, John Cusack has taken to Twitter to pull the curtain back on Fox, saying he discovered by accident that they pulled an “accounting trick” in order to claim a serious financial loss on Cameron Crowe’s seminal teen movie Say Anything…

John Cusack launched an attack on the day of the strike: “Never expected to make any money, but the film was quite popular – so I looked at the financial statements that they were required to report, and to my surprise, they claimed to have LOST 44 MILLION DOLLARS on the film. I thought wow, I almost bankrupted Fox!” (not really) The film cost around 13 million dollars to make – money spent on release was minimal at that time – 30 year later, the film has lost millions of dollars every year!” This follows SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher’s addressing the issue. “They claim poverty and that they are losing money every day, but give hundreds of millions to their CEOs. It’s disgusting. Shame on them.”The lust for money is a comic trope that has been around for a long time. I remember when I was young, I made a movie with a boombox and I somehow got points.
“It’s like that”. Earlier in the day, he replied to another concerned fan saying accounting in the film industry is “Corrupt as f*ck”.Certainly John Cusack’s story of Fox claiming an absurd $44 million loss on
Say Anything… won’t be the last time we hear from an actor blasting corporate corruption. Cusack’s latest “dirty secret” is about the greed of television producers and studios.
