Probably true (and maybe Gogar or someone in the know can comment more accurately here) but my understanding is that the producers take a very large cut of those proceeds as well. Back in high school a friend of mine was a live-in nanny for Don Law - a big producer in the Boston area (same guy who went on to create Next Ticketing, challenging TicketMaster in that market and killing their monopolistic control of venues there). This guy is literally worth tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars. His house is palatial (I've been to it). You don't get that kind of scratch from just getting a small cut, if you know what I mean. . .
