Is the Actors Guild union hurting movies?

Have any of you thought about how possibly the Screen Actor's Guild union could be hurting Hollywood and the movie industry sort of like the question with the unions and the U.S. auto industry?

I do believe that the actor's union is driving up the cost of movies drastically because of pay. Actors/actresses get paid up front before the movie even opens at theaters. As we know many actors make any where from $5 million to $25 million a movie and most the budget goes to the actors and grew. Most actors don't do most of their stunts and many don't do any stunts at all and the increase of CGi where actors stand in front of green screens and don't do any stunts but pretend they're falling off buildings and getting attacked by a monster also shows they are extremely over paid.

There are countless and countless movies that are just ridiculously expensive and are really not good and do not even look like they cost half of what the budget was. For example the movie 'Land Of the Lost' which was rated one of the worst movies of all time cost $100 million dollars to make, and I ask where did all that money go to? These movies are more than the entire GDP of many countries.

Comparison -
Men In Black = $90 million
The Day the Earth Stood Still = $80 million
Matrix = $63 million

Let's say you want to make a movie and the studio gives you a $40 million budget and you want Will Smith to be in it, well he demands $20 million upfront, that's 50% of the budget for one actor.

A better way to make movies is to pay everyone involved after the movie is released and divide up the total box office revenue to the actors and crew and also some of the revenue from dvd and bluray sales.
