i read exactly the same in an interview with the screenwriter of Pirates of the Carribean - they rather invest 100+ million USD in the 5th sequel of something than risking 20 or 30 million on making a movie from a spec script.
unless of course you are Chris Mallick and have "enough" money to finance your own movie
