      I mean, fair, but he’s not “head of multiple mega corporations with massive political sway” wealthy, he’s just “very successful film director for many years” wealthy.

      Looking it up, he’s worth $250 million, or about 1/3200 the worth of Elon Musk.

        He still controlled (heavily influenced) how the film was released. That sort of influence in your own industry is control.

        It not only affected the safety of everyone employed own chain (eg. theater workers), is put public safety at risk. The attitude of “well it was not illegal, so it’s governments fault, not his.” Is part of the problem.
