The most profitable industries in the US, nobody had more than 20% profit margins

Curiously movie making isn't on it, nor are toys.

Funny enough I was watching the documentary on Netflix about toys that made history and SW had a 5% royalties to Lucas Films and 5% to the studio. On the second trilogy it rose to 18% to LucasFilms (nothing for other parties), and doesn't seem like it was changed for the new trilogy (as the deal wasn't time bounded, and the royalties only increased because the original licensed company after being bought by Hasbro made a blunder and needed to do a new deal.

So Again of course Disney doesn't make 100% profit from all merchandise sold.

But VGC isn't the place were we will find people that are sharp on economy questions.
