NL is definitely playing expected, industry standard, Hollywood money game of tweaking the books, but I doubt even they would try just not paying someone a penny that was legally entitled to it. Especially an entity as litigious as the Tolkien Estate. I’m of course speaking of someone entitled to gross profits. Net profits? There never are any in Hollywood accounting. I know how Hollywood works seems foreign to most of us, but its predatory practices continue because of the never-ending threat of blacklist. You complain, you don’t get work. End of story. Shaye tried that with PJ and was probably shocked when he told him to stuff it (politely, of course). Hollywood is used to capitulation. Hollywood is not used to outsiders with more money than god AND principles.
