Settlement reported in film-profit dispute
City News Service reported that film producer Jon Peters and his former wife, Mindy Peters, had reached a settlement in her lawsuit alleging that he failed to honor a written promise to share income from three films connected to the Superman franchise.
Philip Kaufler, counsel for Mindy Peters, filed a notice of settlement on July 28, 2016, in Los Angeles Superior Court before Judge Barbara Scheper. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Background of the reported claims
According to the supplied news article, Mindy Peters alleged that a December 2007 written agreement promised her a 10% share of income from Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and a potential third film. She claimed the agreement was not fulfilled after earnings began in 2014 and also raised issues concerning personal property.
Those allegations were claims made in the lawsuit, not findings made by the court. The reported settlement did not disclose agreed terms or establish a judicial determination on the merits.
