Yeah. "We spent some money on something we assessed and determined to be a sure thing" is what they call risk. Meanwhile, opportunity costs for actors are never considered a valid concern. The risk of taking a bad gig over one that turns into a long term job exists for every everyone in the industry, and they're not insured against lost income from taking the wrong job.

Meanwhile, studios never fail to consider the opportunity costs in finding projects. Are you profitable, but the studio thinks something else would be more profitable? Well, better hope there's a project that's actively losing money that they can cancel, or else you'll be on the chopping block.
