Rogue Marble was able to see through these numbers, and after some more back and forth between the two parties, Warner Bros then sent a check for $2,820,000, as they’d suddenly figured out that Demolition Man had actually made its deficit back.
They originally did this by insisting that Rogue Marble wasn’t actually owed any of the profits from Demolition Man.
The lawsuit insists that since Demolition Man made at least $125 million, Sylvester Stallone was actually entitled to receive at least 15 percent of its profits.
This provoked Rogue Marble to eventually request accounting figures on Demolition Man in 2014.
