Why do big Hollywood studios make so many bad movies that lose money?

Idk if economics was the right flair but I don’t know how it’s economically feasible for big studios to lose money on a lot of films with huge budgets and to make them so bad.

Part of the development of a movie are regular package deals from agencies. You get the superstar, the writer director maybe, and three lesser actors. The whole set isn’t handpicked you have to take what you get. Maybe its an external director but he doesn’t like the camera guy or the screenwriter. Something is odd with the whole production but they are professionals. You get in the can, but the first cut is rough and the final cut is a hodgepodge of “lets get this done” scenes that convey nothing, are dull, paint by the number movie making and not worth the admission. The result is what I call “meh”, the 6.0 on imdb where nobody wanted to land on but you knew when the director was willing to throw the towel on the lead actor in pre production that that thing won’t get awards. Or many viewers.
