It is obvious profit is not their concern.

Instead of releasing a film that by all accounts would have been profitable, so that they can create a loss for tax purposes.

Why not maximize.profits, even if it means more taxes?

The shareholders should have a legal case.

I think the shareholders with enough shares to have influence are the ones who encourage this sort of behavior - if it's a long-term profit at the expense of short term, they aren't interested

That's my gut feeling on it anyways
