I see the checks being written to the agencies/talent

GGPO

my "copy room" > your mortgage company

lol, I work for WB ;)

So, to summarize

Big players with clout AND leading roles get fat participation checks
Big players with supporting roles get smaller participation checks
Smaller players with little clout rarely get participation checks
Smaller players with clout usually get participation deals that are ridiculously hard to make money from

I don't see how a copy boy owned me with this. Like I said though, most studios are CURRENTLY avoiding giving even A-lists a cut of future profits.

He hasn't proven anything.

Is it possible for you to go even a week without turning a thread into a giant pile of shit by trying to act like you've not only done everything and seen everything in the whole wide world, but that you've done it better than everyone else? Will you ever just learn to forgo your ego and understand that none of us want to read 99% of the shit you post bragging about some unprovable, stupid, meaningless, details to debates that really don't need to be said?

A no name with no box office clout and no leverage is almost certainly working for scale. Currently that's about $750 a day. Those who can get it are grateful, very few actors have the standing to be able to turn down parts working for scale.

I'm not sure how I can prove anything to you, given that I can't post any contracts or numbers without getting fired; you know, client confidentiality and all.

I'm sure the numbers you obtain in the mortgage industry are a more accurate reflection of an actor's proceeds from their movies than my numbers, based upon contracts negotiated between the talent and the studio.
