She is but IMO that is not irrelevant. Clearly the agreement was for Disney to pay her a % of revenues. They then changed their approach to earning revenue on the movie which materially reduced her payout. That sure doesn't feel right.
Let's say I agree to pay you a commission of 6% on the cash sale price of my house. In the final sale agreement, the buyer agrees to pay me in something other than cash and I go to you and say sorry, you were only going to get 6% of "cash". Two parties operating in good faith would look to agree to the spirit of the original agreement.
I really don't care how rich everyone is other than the outcome of this sure doesn't keep me up at night.
