In my career, I have witnessed more people losing more money on more films than I ever thought possible -- "Billions and billions," as Carl Sagan would say. And it is all the fault of sex.
If you were trying to impress someone at a cocktail party, would you rather say, "I make movies," or, "I make widgets"? Face it, the film industry is sexy, and people like sex. Even if not of the direct ilk (a not-infrequent motivation), most people who produce films are driven by the conscious or subconscious sexiness of the industry, and the law of supply and demand takes it from there. There are a whole lot of people that made billions elsewhere and came to Hollywood to blow it, and precious few that made billions in Hollywood and blew it elsewhere.
Let's take a trip down memory lane and look at all the dead bodies:

Cologne, Germany -- Thierry Potok has stepped down as head of German film fund VIP less than a year after taking up the post.
Potok will return to producing through his Polaris banner, which co-produced Julie Delpy's "2 Days in Paris." He will be replaced at VIP by Tilo Seiffert, who has been at the fund since 2007.
Once Germany's most successful private fund, VIP has invested about $1 billion in more than 50 film projects since 1989, including Oscar-winner "Monster," Paul Verhoeven's "Black Book" and Tom Tykwer's "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer."
But VIP's dodgy banking practices caught the attention of German tax authorities. Fund founder Andreas Schmid was eventually found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced to six years in prison.
Now VIP's main activities involve chasing down earnings from films it invested in and managing the few funds remaining in its portfolio.
