I haven't heard any. Can you give an example? -- nm - Roger More Feb 12, 08:17 10
- I thought LOTR had one; George Miller, Cruise?...TV rights maybe? -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:17 9
  - Jackson and Miller's disputes were both about how much they should get paid in directors fees, not about streaming rights. - Roger More Feb 12, 08:23 5
    - But if streaming rights ARE part of the profit margin (for Friends it would be massive) than it could be a HUGE issue wouldn't it? -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:25 4
      - To be a little clearer, neither of those cases were about who owned the movie. - Roger More Feb 12, 08:36 1
        
        cool thanks! -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:37
      - the lawsuits aren't whether they could have made more, they are disputing what the film/show actually made. actors have no say in where or how some- - Andie Feb 12, 08:28 1
        
        ahh gotcha -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:32
  - profit participation I think is the term... -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:20 2
    - Walking Dead is another one; Bones, Bill Nye -- nm* - Beaker Feb 12, 08:21 1
      - I may be zeroing in on the streaming rights specifically from the larger issue of Hollywood accounting... -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:23
