I just listened to Scriptnotes podcast. John admitted he's made 2.7 mil from residuals off Charlie's Angels. Holy crap! Fo realz? This is an area I'm not well versed. I sold a movie (not mine) for a lot of money. Is there a way for me to learn how much the residuals have been to date? I'm just super curious how much money I made this writer at this point (I get it was 100% them, I just said no to bad offers).
We basically got half a mil in commission for this particular film, so that tells you what we sold it for.
This particular film up for Oscar/Globe a few years ago for best pic. That had to help. I know most residuals come in the first few years I just don't know how to specifically calculate this. Again, not trying to grandstand, but holy crap, did I make this person like 7 million bucks? (Don't worry, I'm currently a loser)
I would have never thought 2.7 mil for Charlie's Angels. WTF!? Seriously??
