I believe both parties sign an agreement before the movie was started. Have not they resolved the issue on profit-sharing or compensation before they enter into a contract? I have no idea how they deal with these things in Hollywood..but I think this matter won't occur if things were talked about clearly at the start.</p> Just compensation must be made in any service a company availed from professionals.

This has the net result of reducing the project's reported profit by a substantial margin, sometimes eliminating it altogether. This may be for income tax reasons, but more often it is to reduce the amount which the corporation must pay in royalties or other profit-sharing agreements."

Interesting story Jon, although I suspect just one of many hollywood accounting practices that are more than dubious.
