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.

I think it depends what the contract says. If she was specifically only getting a % of theatrical revenues not streaming revenues, and then there was a giant pandemic that reduced theater revenues and increased streaming revenues then that sucks for her but doesn't seem actionable to me. Lots of other people, myself included, have lost significant income from the pandemic.
