"Done properly" anything can be science/engineering. Just make a process, give it a KPI on how well it's performing, and you have an engineering. Movie making done properly is where audience is engaged with every act, you test screen it, see audience reaction, tweak, have a specific set of evals, and then you have something scoring high on the metrics. Part of that happens today, but you would not call that science. It's not what people mean when they call something as science or engineering. Your's is too broad of a definition to mean anything specific.
