Most Hollywood films are hard to understand.
How can such a large proportion of movies be so formulaic and still make so much money?

Because audiences subconsciously expect characters to fit certain archetypes which define various aspects of the human psyche, and there are only so many ways that a finite set of characters copied from archetypal templates can interact without breaking their moulds and thereby alienating the majority of viewers.
Turning the "wise old mentor" into a sleazy lech or the "damsel in distress" into a butch chain-smoker will usually lead to a crash-and-burn at the box office, except in circumstances where the marketing for the movie explicitly indicates that the tropes are being deliberately subverted. Even then, such a movie could very rarely expect to match the financial success of a colour-by-numbers "hero's journey" blockbuster, because there are certain traditions in storytelling that have existed since the dawn of civilisation, and that kind of thing tends to be bankable.
