I don't think the movies are made like that. I'm pretty sure the fee to use the format is paid on replication, after that, the studio can keep the money. Replication costs are about $2/a disc for both the HD formats, the rest of the cost goes to recouping the authoring expenses, film making expenses, marketing and maybe even profit if they sell enough of them. The deal Paramount supposedly got was basically promotional/marketing considerations.
