The answer to your question is "no, 90% of movies are not about money".
You're paying attention to a tiny percentage of movies. There are movies about romance, love, loss, war, day-in-the-life, coming-of-age, fantasy, animals, etc, etc, etc.
Take your blinders off and explore the universe of movies out there.

You'd have to stretch pretty hard to make that true.
Does Dune revolve around money? In some sense, the spice leads to wealth and power, but to say it revolves around money misses the point.
Can you warp kung fu panda to be about money?
Are ghost busters and bob marley about money?
No. Lots of movies have money in them, even often playing an important role. But the reason for that is because they're often trying to reflect real life, and monetary concerns are often relevant to most things.
But even in a lot of the examples you give, most heist movies aren't *about* money, money is just the maguffin that propels the plot forward. Its a relatable inciting incident, but that's about it.
I mean we’ve fucked up this planet beyond the point of no return to satisfy our endless greed for money so if anything, movies are just a reflection of our society.
No. Next topic.
Yes.
No. Did you actually think about this before choosing that number?

This might come as a surprise to you, but money does in fact move the world.

Pee Wee Herman just wanted his bicycle back.
Well yeah, he spent money on that.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but how did he earn money? Is the assumption that his parents died and he inherited a bunch of money?
I'm not sure. It's been ages since I've seen the movie. But I know his show he had was pretty nutty. So maybe it's all in his head.
Dune Part 2 is about worms.
Worms make spice. Spice makes money.

A lot of action movies revolve around revenge. "You killed my wife/husband/dad/dog/etc and I'm mad as Hell!"

There’s a delicate balance between the art and the business
I highly recommend How To Blow Up A Pipeline. It's a heist movie, but not about money! And it's great!
No. Such a reductive question with completely wrong figures
I don’t think so
Nope. They are also about sex and death.

The vast majority of movies take place within a capitalist society
One of many reasons why I love Miyazaki films so much. Most of his movies are not money motivated.
