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.

A movie can sound good in the board room and be bad on screen. Hell a movie can be *really good* and bomb at the box office. Movies are art, they can’t predict public taste.

If 4 risky $50 million movies bomb but the 5th movie makes $500 million back, the studio won. If they passed on all 5 movies, they wouldn’t have made any money.
