JCP, Movies don't have to make money in the theatres, as long as the DVD and broadcast and cable television sales cover the costs.

Box office for this summer's bomb Stealth: $31.7M
VHS/DVD revenues for Stealth (thus far): $12.2M
Budget for Stealth: $130M (estimated)

Box office for last summer's bomb Catwoman: $40M
VHS/DVD revenues for Catwoman: $2M
Budget for Catwoman: $85M (estimated)

Both movies featured Oscar-winning performers. The DVD sales couldn't save either.
