Michael Lewis claims Hollywood is to blame for Michael Oher not making more money off his life story, not the Tuohy family.
Everybody should be mad at the Hollywood studio system.Oher alleged, in a legal filing earlier this week, that the Tuo
hys received $225,000 apiece for the film, plus profits on the movie, which were kept from him due to the conservatorship. Lewis, in turn, contends that the family got $70,000 for an early option on the film, and then received about $350,000 from the profits of the movie. He also alleges that, though the family shared the profits equally, Oher began declining his royalty checks.
