The art director for Obsession says she was paid less than $7,000 and is now calling for industry reform after the film grossed nearly $175 million.
I get wanting better pay in the industry, but this is how contracts work.
You agreed to a flat fee before anyone knew the movie would become a massive hit.
If you wanted upside, you could have negotiated for points, royalties, or a profit-sharing agreement.
Taking the guaranteed money, watching the movie become huge, and then saying you deserve a cut after the fact is ridiculous.
