You just made up that amount, right?
I donât have an opinion. I think a bunch of lawyers will ultimately fight is out and then the true facts come out.
One thing I know, if The Blind Side was about Oher it would have been a flop. It was about Mama Bear and Sandra won an Oscar portraying her.
Hemingway once said that when you sell a book to Hollywood, you should go to the California border, toss the book across, turn and ride away. They are going to do what they want to the book.
I think heâs using the 2.5% of earnings listed in the lawsuit.
Yep he used the calculator function.
While irrelevant to the actual matter r/Memphis is a buzz with this and service workers telling horror stories of the Tuohyâs doesnât matter in the case but it does make me actively root against them for being jerks to people.
I have read how they loosely calculate profits on the back end of films. It is after costs and marketing expenses.
If it made 300m figurebit cost 150m to make plus 50m for advertising it would leave about 100m in earnings and it may include residuals for re-airing and streaming.
If they get 2.5%, not sure if it is each or as a whole it could be between 2-6 million.
But, I am speculating with what is available.
Why are you so prottective/defensive of the Touhys?
Families will tear themselves apart for less money.
Mike felt he found a family after a hard childhood, only to learn they too may have taken advantage of him it would feel like his world yet again was turned upside down.
Sadly, it has a Shakespearean feel, âet tu Brutus.â
It was all thier story not just Michaelâs
Agreed, and if Mike got cut out of money isnt that wrong?
The movie happened after college. He was already in the NFL
According to the Touhys lawyer, Oher got his cut. Who are we to believe? Seems like poster here already made their minds up.
I made up my mind the movie lied to us, he was never adopted. Once i discover a lie, everything else is suspect.
You have no idea what youâre talking about.
It was a movie âbasedâ on a true story, not a documentary.
Gang,
In discovery, Iâm sure that contracts and financial records of all kinds will come to light.
Weâll figure out who is telling the truth at that point.
Didnât realize that a hollywood movie was actually a documentary. You mean Michael Bayâs Pearl Harbor isnât what really happened?
You believed a movie? You thought it was a documentary?
Nice thing about that is that it should be pretty easy to show in court that he got his cut.
His biggest claim that they lied to him about adopting him is going to be damn near impossible to prove unless there is a recording or some other smoking gun.
Cougardue was just being groomed by Hollywood.
Hey!
Wait a minute!
Are you saying that the âFriday Night Lightsâ movie/TV series WASNâT a documentary???
BLASPHEMER!!! BLASPHEMER!!!
You mean capricorn 1 wasnât real? OJ wasnât murdered by the feds after faking a moon landing?
