I felt pretty sick of trying to accumulate Hollywood Awards, so figured I'd do some calculations to see how unreasonable it is to play The Return of the Titanic Ben-Hur

Assuming no Premium SH workers

You start off making:
5 Yoga Mats = 8 minutes
20 Lattes (including SVT because almost everyone has him) = 6 minutes
20 Furniture = 2 minutes

Total = 8 minutes because they all run concurrently

Then you can make:
5 Pharmaceuticals = 12 minutes + 5 Yoga Mats + 10 Lattes
10 Smart Devices = 10 minutes + 20 Furniture + 10 Lattes

Run concurrently, Total = 20 minutes

Now you make:
5 Hollywood Awards = 20 minutes + 5 Pharmaceuticals + 10 Smart Devices

Total time spent: 40 minutes

Assuming all characters miss out on an hour long task because of this production

Lost cash: $70*30 = $2100 (with a healthy multiplier, we can call it $5000)

So, your choice is three hours and -$200000 to your balance
or
40 minutes and -$5000 lost opportunity cost (to be fair, 40 minutes could easily become over an hour since you're unlikely to be sat around staring at the heights all that time...)

tl;dr Never worth it

On one hand, you're correct. But what you're not considering is the fact that you have to be bent over your device almost nonstop while you're doing all this, tap tap tapping until you're going half insane.

I may play that movie once a day just to keep from going nuts trying to earn the last of the statues I need. I have the money. It's worth it to me to skip all that time in the game tapping over and over for forty minutes straight.
