It doesn't make any sense. It's some rule they have to stimulate the German film making industry. Their investment is 100% deductible, so if the film doesn't make a euro, then the investors lose nothing. It's only when the film starts to make money that they have to pay taxes. If the film breaks even, then they have to pay taxes on the full amount of the budget, but they don't get any tax write-offs. This is why Germans invest in Uwe Boll's films. They invest in them precisely because they know they will tank.
