“Instead of accounting and paying in a transparent fashion, Warner Bros. obscures and hides the true amount of Ms. Aarons’ rightful share of merchandising revenues,” the suit reads.
She claims she was compensated $71,500 for her role in “The Nun” and earned only $175,000 in bonuses tied to the film’s box-office success.
“The importance of Ms. Aarons’ contributions to the success of the films is undeniable,” the court documents read. Aarons’ suit comes amid the Hollywood writers and actors strikes and just weeks before “The Nun II” — in which she stars — premieres on Sept. 8.The documents also quote “The Conjuring 2” and “The Nun” producer Peter Safran lauding “the unique geography” of Aarons’ face.
“Unlike most horror movie monsters who hide behind a mask or are CGI creations, Valak is based on Ms. Aarons’ physical features,” the suit notes. “Ms. Aarons’ character is so popular that her appearance in ‘The Conjuring 2’ spawned the spinoff franchise, ‘The Nun’ movies, based upon Ms. Aarons’ character, as well as all manner of merchandise including toys, dolls, decorations, pins, jewelry, t-shirts, socks, bedding, costumes, drinkware, and posters all using Ms. Aarons’ likeness.”
