"The deal that they'd made with Robin was a high-percentage first-dollar gross -- a movie-star deal -- and it was great, because instantly by putting Robin in the movie their pre-sales paid for the whole f------ film." Smith explained while discussing the book with"He'd get a bigger percentage if it crossed $100 million, so every dollar the movie made at the theatrical box office would have to be split -- I'm not sure if it was a 50/50 split -- with Robin Williams.
He went on to say he felt"weird" the day"Good Will Hunting" was leaving the theaters, especially since it had such incredible Oscar buzz. "They did it because keeping it in theaters meant that more of the money would go to Robin, whereas the moment it went to video the split wasn't Robin-heavy. It was hamstrung because greed."
