I suppose it makes sense that music is DRM-free but films aren't

Why?

It's orders of magnitude more expensive to make a movie than it is to make a track.
yeah exactly
and?
Did you read the question? It was an answer to the question.
Not to put words in their mouth, but my question would be: isn't that why movies are more expensive than an audio track? Not to mention that movies have "concerts" much more regularly and in many places at once where they make money, no? I don't really have an idea of the exact economics of it all, so these are genuine questions.
