Harvey Weinstein is back in court, this time over a money dispute. The former Hollywood producer is suing the team behind the Finding Neverland musical tour, claiming they owe him more than $2.3 million.
In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, August 5, and reported by TMZ, Weinstein says the producers failed to pay him and two of his companies—Weinstein Live Entertainment and Finding Neverland USA LLC—the money they are owed from the national tour.
He explains that although no final contract was signed before the musical began touring in October 2016, payments still started after its Broadway run ended in August of that year. According to him, the money stopped coming in later without any explanation.
Weinstein also accuses the producers of taking 4% of the tour’s total earnings—about $4.6 million—without informing him or getting his approval. He believes that since he and his companies owned 50% of the project, they should receive at least $2.3 million, plus interest. He’s also asking the court to make the producers cover his legal costs.
He says the original agreement included a weekly advance of $4,000, a $3,750 consulting fee each week, a guaranteed $2,000 minimum payment per week, and 27.5% of any profits made from the tour.
TMZ reports that they contacted the two production companies involved—Network Presentations and the National Artist Management Company—but neither has responded yet.
This new lawsuit comes not long after Weinstein’s recent retrial in New York, where he was convicted of one s3x crime. The judge called a mistrial on another r@pe charge when the jury stopped discussing the case, with the jury foreperson citing safety concerns.
Weinstein is already serving a 16-year sentence in Los Angeles for similar s3x crime convictions.
