"internist" means that she practices internal medicine. As in, she's an MD. Which is okay - so was George Miller.

"Selling a 400k film for 5k" means that they spent four hundred thousand DOLLARS making the film, and then, when it came time to recoup that money by selling the film to a distributor, received a mere $5000 for their trouble. It does, in fact, reflect a $395,000 loss.

June has, by our calculations, invested approximately $700k in movies and earned a return (so far) of $55k.

No, that's not a track record to aspire to.
