Dec. 1st, 2006 06:32 pmAn article is on Variety.com about Saul Zaentz suing Miramax and Disney regarding some money (akak $20 million) from The English Patient. And it includes this paragraph:
Zaentz settled a similar suit in August 2005 against New Line; he'd alleged that the studio had not properly accounted for revenues of its "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. While terms of that settlement were undisclosed, court papers revealed that even before the settlement, Zaentz had received $168 million from New Line as part of the deal for the film rights to the J.R.R. Tolkien tomes.
So PJ is obviously not the only one who didn't think New Line's revenue accounting was proper...
Full article behind the cut, in case someone's interested.
