Re: $ against $$ ?
Let's say we're talking $500,000 against $1.5 million.
$500,000 is what's paid upfront to the writer, or the total he / she shall receive upon contractual rewrites / polishes of the script.
The remaining million is usually what's received should the film actually roll before cameras.
That's very simplistic, but you get the idea.
