@timsoret @CryptoAcid No they didn't lmao. They were paid fairly for their value add.

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap If she wanted to tie her salary to the success of the film, that's a different story (and she would never accept it because it's too risky). You don't get the security of an upfront salary AND the benefit of profit share with no downside while other people risk everything.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap It doesn't matter how long production was. She herself already said she was paid $300/day, so she did in fact only work 20ish days. She does not deserve any profit share, and now she doesn't deserve the opportunity she was given either. Her blood and tears were beyond compensated

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Culture3ase Wow that's a lot for an indie. Now she is gonna make even more with all the offers she's getting

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap Lmao thanks for showing that you have no understanding of how marketing works. The actors or director don't have to be known, they are still doing interviews and social media and many other forms of content to promote it. And the director is not unknown.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap Lol or maybe nobody wants to work with someone who is ungrateful even after getting paid fairly for a job in an industry she just started working in. She has no resume or credits and still made $6700 in less than a month, which she agreed to.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap The real way department heads can get their share is when the producers make a sequel with Barker and he brings back his team and pays them much better than before (except for the Art Director that ruined her career). Being ungrateful gets you nowhere

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap A film is a success because the actors and director promote it, along with the marketing investment from producers. Without their effort, the film is worthless. $15M was invested just for the distribution rights, plus marketing expense. The department heads deserve none of it.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@chakravartiiin No, the money should be used to make more Obsessions (original indie horror films), including a sequel, and they can bring back the whole team besides the art director who destroyed her career and pay them very well now. That's how this works.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap That's my point. The people who make the film a success have the ability to get profit share (although it is rare for most actors), while the people that have no part in it's success simply get paid their salary, carry no risk, and potentially have a hit on their resume.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@gothgfdotrip Yes, it is.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @USGrant1227 @KeithcMacD @TheWrap All those people were paid fairly. Without the work of the actors, director, and producers, the movie would still be a complete failure. They are the only reason it became a success. The reason they are crying now is because they didn't believe it would be successful.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@KeithcMacD @Matt_At_Movies @TheWrap Lmao, you just defined taking zero risk. It is not their work, they are fulfilling someone else's vision. The only ones that suffer are the actors, director, and producers. There is a reason why everyone in the industry is in agreement that the woman is completely wrong

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Matt_At_Movies @TheWrap No they should not lol. They have zero part to play in the box office of the movie and take zero risk. The only people that get backend deals are actors and directors that participate in the promotion of the movie, and producers that invest their money.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@drdang Just proved it's a very good thing

[Jason @Jason34420]

@MaxFromQuebec Technically every premium format besides IMAX

[Jason @Jason34420]

@GlobalBoxOffice There is no reason to buy tickets this early for any other format. IMAX tickets are the only tickets that are worth buying so far ahead

[Jason @Jason34420]

@_CharlesPreston I think that just makes YOU racist, not the film or the writing.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@akermanfanclub They don't actually make much money at all on these Nolan projects. They sign on because they know the movies are going to be great, huge box office successes, and provide them with an Oscar opportunity.

There's no need to read it before signing on.

[Jason @Jason34420]

@Mutant_Menace So you're engagement farming
