If the contract was for payment to be made based on profit, we all know that they would never see a dime. However, the contract appears to be based on the "gross." Now if New Line prove they had no "gross" that would indeed be an accounting miracle. I hope this goes to a jury and the jury slams New Line.
If it's on the gross, I'll be happy to sign an affadavit stating that I saw each movie twice in the theaters, and then bought the special, extended edition DVD sets as well. Just from that, I figure that I spent over $120 over 3 years on those movies.
