@sun that's fucking amazing really

it's like we've shot our wad on the superhero movies and someone said "well theres's a few good videogame IPs out there, let's do those now" but yeah -- for some of these it's too late

I didn't learn until recently that the actors made no money on LOTR movies, Kate Blanchett talked about it in interview too. Said something like she got paid in sandwiches and that's it, no residuals or anything.
