I'm very curious about how much money is on the table.
The movie grossed $309M.
The movie is based on the book written by Michael Lewis.
Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock got paid -- they were the stars.
The subjects of the movie? How much would they have to be paid? I would not expect it to be a whole lot of money. The actors, the author, the studio -- they all made bigger contributions to the actual making of the movie.
Oher was in the NFL for 9 years and earned a total of $34M.
Some reports say his current net worth is $16M.
The Tuohy's are business people (always have been) and may have a net worth of $75M. That's not from the movie. That's from their businesses.
It doesn't seem like anyone here needs money or that anyone here got a lot from the film.
It seems weird and vindictive.
My wife read someplace that each family member was paid about 40g. The person who wrote the book was paid very well. Mr Touy said things started going sour about 18 months ago, which is the exact time Michael started dating, or got married, to his baby mama. I’m thinking she put him up to this. Same thing happened to Kap. Started dating, or married, that woman who belongs to the ROP and the next thing you know... BTW the Touy’s are loaded. I mean, like 100mil loaded because of all the franchises and her business. 40g isn’t anything to holler about with that family. Michael has about 16mil.
I guess we can say that this is a clear case of black male.
The family got a fairly miniscule share, somewhere just a little more than a million. Each member received about $225,000 or so.
TTouhy is a very good business man and he probably received what he thought was the most that he could get for the story. The movie outperformed expectations by a wide mile.
Like most ex-NFL players, I imagine Oher is bankrupt
