According to the agreement, he was entitled to a “proportional 5% share of 50% of the gross receipts”. from the granting of rights of marketing.
Aarons says Warner Bros. sent him written statements showing his share of the revenue, but that they were “inconsistent with extensive marketing” for his character.

The demon nun who first appeared Summoning 2, spawned its own franchise, as well as a line of merchandise including dolls, jewelry and posters.
