In what can be seen as an important move in the future of comic book movie development and creators rights, BOOM! Studios has signed a rather unique first-look deal with 20th Century Fox.
What makes it so unique?
According to insiders, as part of the new pact, Boom!, in an unprecedented move, will get first-dollar gross on the movies made from its properties, with those earnings being split 50-50 between the publisher and the adapted comic's creator(s).What this means is the creators get money from the success of the film no matter what. No more Jack Kirbys in this scenario. We'll have to see how this does (or doesn't) succeed, but if it works, expect the world of creator's rights to change significantly.
