Steven Speilberg in Talks with UNIVERSAL.

[Lord_Stewie]

Hey,

Not sure if this should be posted here, but it is a General Discussion:

THR is reporting that Universal Orlando officials are in talks with Steven Spielberg over whether or not to renew their consulting contract with the famous filmmaker. For those who don’t know, Spielberg gets paid 2% of all park receipts. Spielberg signed the deal 20 years ago when the parks first opened. Universal got the director’s input and brand name endorsement, and Spielberg walked away with 2% (which back then couldn’t have been a lot). But today that 2% equals anywhere from $30 - $50 million a year depending on what source you read (Waxman or Finke). And that kind of payout doesn’t even include the licensing fees for films like Jurassic Park or E.T. — which is completely separate.
