Concerning the secrecy surrounding the movie industry, I remembered this 
quote from producer Takenori Sento, being interviewed in Look Japan.

"Sento says he cannot understand why movie advertising discusses the size 
of the production budget.  'Film is the only industry that publishes its 
production costs.  It's a business, so you don't need to disclose your 
costs.  There's not really any relationship between production costs and 
quality.  And no matter how much you spend to make a film, if your 
distribution income doesn't reach at least that level then it's a failure 
as a business.'"
