> Under the deal for The Rip — a movie that follows a pair of Miami cops that find hidden money — all 1,200 people involved in the nearly $100 million production will be eligible for a one-time bonus if the film meets performance expectations. The movie will be evaluated over its first 90 days on Netflix and measured against other titles on the platform, with the idea that there’s a potential for an additional payout to the crew,

I didn’t mind the Rip. It wasn’t high art and the third act was fairly by the numbers, but it was a solid night in action drama.

Good for them.

The fact that they continue to make these types of deals with streamers just goes to show that studios truly do not want to pay their employees fairly.
The whole point of Artists Equity is about fair pay for the entire crew, not just the actors.
Netflix & Amazon are the only ones forking over the dough.

The Rip was awful.
If that’s the benchmark for solid action movies then that’s just sad.

Get that bag, lads. Though I appreciate that you remain committed to your theatrical output deal with Sony. I dunno, *The Accoutant 2* was better in the theater, even if it made more money on Prime. (Anyway: *The Town 2* when? /s)

Their [“Special” deal](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/ben-affleck-matt-damon-netflix-bonuses-the-rip-crew-1236468487/) with Netflix for The Rip, probably made them a lot of money.
