A fox movie that makes $500k at the box office would be considered a commercial failure. Yes it’s actual money, but it is effectively nothing for a corporation, a rounding error.
If you are trying to actually protect anything it shouldn’t be a rounding error.

The feasible part is the fictional part. Unfortunately real spacefaring has to deal with any problem that could happen, not just the ones the writers researched and thought were interesting enough to include.

It’s not really. Fox’s regional sports network is valued at $22 billion (from a few minutes of googling). So they are fined about 0.002% of their value. It’s not even worth writing down, it’s less than a rounding error for the corporation.
