Hollywood financer TSG Entertainment is suing Disney for breach of contract.
TSG co-finances the production and marketing costs of films in exchanges for a share of the defined gross receipts after the film's release.
The group has helped co-finance around 140 films produced by 20th Century Fox, which Disney acquired in 2019, including "Avatar: The Way of Water."
Noticing a decline in profits, TSG requested an audit of a sampling of three of the films it financed for 20th Century Fox.
"Most egregiously, this scheme triggered a provision in the [revenue participation agreement] that entitles Fox to a 50% share of TSG's profits after the winding-up of TSG's investment vehicle."
