CMV: Actors/Artists shouldn’t get a cut of profits just because the movie does well

In light of the massive success of Obsessions, seen reports of the art directors and other cast members coming out and complaining about their comp. If they want to have their profits tied to the success of the movie they should argue that in their contract.

For example let’s say an actor/artist is offered
A) 100k flat
B) 50k and some rev sharing depending on success of the movie

You have to take some risk here if you want to have the upside of the movie doing well. It feels like these artists are constantly wanting the upside of having guaranteed money and also the upside if the movie does really well.

If you are arguing that the artists are underpaid sure, but in my scenarios above let’s say it’s 1mil for Scenario A and 500k for Scenario B. Feel like they’d still be complaining if the movie goes on to make billions. If these artists want to argue for more pay then sure, but the argument shouldn’t be that they want more pay for when the movies do well. So many indie movies are done on shoestring budgets and they go on to bomb.
