In an interview with The Washington Post, Lewis said that despite the movie’s success, no one involved in the book saw millions of dollars from the movie.

According to Lewis, 20th Century Fox paid $250,000 for the option to make “The Blind Side” a movie, which he split 50-50 with the Tuohy family. The Touhys have said they split their share evenly, including with Oher. After taxes and agent fees, Lewis said, his half was around $70,000. “The Blind Side” was a cultural phenomenon, earning Sandra Bullock an Academy Award for best actress, and is one of several best-selling books by Lewis that has been turned into a movie, including “Moneyball” and “The Big Short.” Oher, meanwhile, went on to a successful career as an offensive lineman in the NFL from 2009-2016.
