People will thumbs down and attack me for what I just said, but budget figures and box office return numbers don't lie and those are all readily available for everyone to look up and see that they don't match up. All of these movies are extremely low budget, critically panned for being boring, yet make ridiculous amounts of money.
Hacksaw Ridge isn't anything like these movies and doesn't fit into that category because it had a decent budget and you can tell Gibson was trying to make an entertaining movie (although probably not the most "wholesum" one to watch with your kids).
Step outside of your own biases and realize that you are being manipulated into promoting this "movie" that someone spent very little effort to make knowing that you would take the bait because it fits within your "alley".

Take Cabrini, one of the best movies the studio released and had the same model (I saw it for free under this model). Budget of a reported 50M and world wide gross of $20.6M.
This movie saw both critical and audience praise, and yet was a complete financial failure using this model.
Also what other studios do this? : Angel Studios uses a unique model where investors can get a share of revenue, with 100% of net revenue (after distribution) going to charity, adding another layer to its financial narrative beyond typical studio profit.
This is America and companies should make a profit, otherwise they will cease to exist. This is a very risky market to be in, including the mode Angel Studios adopted. Compare the profit and loss to other near 1B companies and see if they are the greedy tycoons you suggest.

So they made a movie for roughly $20M and made $20M back... meaning they broke even, right? No. Because they didn't even have to pay back investors. All of this money paid just the people involved in making the movie, so it was basically a wealth transfer from thousands of gullible "stockholders", who thought they'd be getting some money from their investments but now are satisfied in simply "spreading the message" as a way to cope for their financial losses, to these conmen who knew this would play out this way. It's easy to promise 100% net revenue to investors when you know you, as a filmmaker/producer, will most definitely get paid out even if your investors won't, because you're gambling with someone else's money not your own.
