Marvel's Lawyers Working Overtime...

When I was a mere cruller, my father took me into his office. He looked at me with a steely glint in his eye, and said, "Now son, I'm about to impart you with some advice that you'll need for the rest of your life."

 

I was, of course, waiting for THE TALK, but no.

 

"Always get your percentage in gross, son. Net is for suckers."

Movie studios just love to cut deals for percentage of net, then pretend that the movie didn't make any money. New Line even tried to prove that Fellowship of the Ring didn't make any profit. They tried factoring in the entire $340 million budget for all 3 films, cost of promotions, travel costs flying cast members around the world to do interviews, everything.
