PrepTest 78, Section 3, Question 26
Film director: Although the production costs of my latest film are very high, there is little risk that the film studio will not recover these costs. Even if the film is unpopular, much of the money is being spent to develop innovative special-effects technology that could be used in future films.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Because the film studio owns the new technology, the studio will be able to control its use in any future films.
Films that introduce innovative special-effects technologies generally draw large audiences of people who are curious about the new effects.
The production costs of this film are so high that, even if the film is popular, it is unlikely that the film's ticket sales will offset those costs.
In the past, many innovative special-effects technologies were abandoned after the films for which they were developed proved to be unpopular.
The use of the new special-effects technology would lower the production costs of other films that use it.
