You make a good point. If film financiers are getting screwed like the article perpetuates then why are Hollywood films getting made at all? Let alone with astronomically high budgets.
Just a point of clarification and correct me if I'm wrong but executive producers are almost never the ones who put up the actual money unless they're say George Lucas (e.g. Red Tails). Instead they represent the investors to make sure everything goes smoothly with the film.
