6 Aug – One of the defendants in Gerard Butler's lawsuit has recently dismissed the notion that the actor is owed profits from the 2013 movie, "Olympus Has Fallen". A spokesperson of Nu Image recently released a statement regarding the issue on 4 August, stating that there is no merit to the actor's claim.
Last week, Butler's legal representatives claimed that the actor is owed more than USD 10 million in profits following an independent audit, and alleged that the producers have understated their own receipts and profits by over USD 11 million. Aside from Nu Image, Butler named studios Millennium Film and Padre Nuestro Productions as defendants. "Olympus Has Fallen", which was directed by Antoine Fuqua, made over USD 170.3 million at the box office worldwide. Butler went on to reprise his role as Secret Service Agent Mike Banning in "London Has Fallen" (2016) and "Angel Has Fallen" (2019). The actor is also set to film the fourth instalment, "Night Has Fallen".
