Bonnie Aarons, who plays demonic nun in billion-dollar Conjuring franchise, is suing studio for ‘obscuring’ the ‘true amount of her rightful share’
, filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles superior court, names Warner Bros, New Line Cinema and Scope Productions. She alleges that she was paid “fixed compensation” of $71,500 to play her role in The Nun, plus a $175,000 bonus that was tied to box office performance, which she received after the film grossed more $365m against a $22m budget.
Aarons’ complaint claims that, between 2019 and 2022, Warner Bros sent her written statements showing her share of revenue, which she alleges was “inconsistent with the extensive merchandising activities” for her character. When asked to elaborate on the figures, the studio sent a “spreadsheet that contained line items corresponding to only a fraction of the known licences,” she claims.
Aarons is suing for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and accounting.
