Fuqua’s reshoot windfall: MJ biopic boosts director’s upfront to $25M

Antoine Fuqua reportedly more than doubled his upfront pay for the Michael Jackson biopic, rising from $10 million to about $25 million after agreeing to 22 days of reshoots to remove references to sexual-abuse allegations. Bloomberg and THR say the reshoots were advances against royalties within the film’s $150 million budget, delaying other projects for Fuqua and producer Graham King and ultimately yielding a sizable immediate payday despite a difficult creative process.

"Aquaman 2: Warner Bros.' Chaotic Journey to Perfection"

The upcoming sequel to Warner Bros.'s 2018 DC movie, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, has undergone three rounds of reshoots, which is unusual for a film of this scale. The movie has faced delays and changes in leadership, with the original release date pushed back multiple times. The reshoots were prompted by concerns over story clarity and the inclusion of Batman, resulting in the replacement of scenes featuring Michael Keaton's version of the character with Ben Affleck's. Despite the challenges, the studio's willingness to invest in improving the film indicates their faith in its success. The Lost Kingdom is the final movie of the DC Extended Universe, and its release comes at a time when other recent DC films have underperformed at the box office. The filmmakers and studio are aware of the importance of post-production in shaping the final product, as demonstrated by the success of the first Aquaman film.
