This was a small budget film, but even in big budget films you typically don't see any manner of residuals unless it was something negotiated as part of your contract

Don't they get royalties? Or maybe that was the pre-streaming world.

Completely depends on their contract, they could get a flat fee, they could get $1 every time it's streamed, they could get a % of gross/net/profit...

Studios usually try to do the % of profit/net thing when they can't pay upfront and they want to shift the risk to the actors/crew (bad risk and good risk). Sometimes it works out for the actors, sometimes not.

barker sold the distribution rights to the movie for like $14-15m, nobody but Focus is seeing that money. He's getting a massive deal on the next movie and im sure he'll bring as many of these actors as he can to get paid out

Great movie though

The digital release has a commentary from the director, listened to it last night. Not sure if that's only available on certain platforms, bought it on Google and watched it on Apple TV (thanks Movies Anywhere). It had a DVD-like menu to start it, need more of this stuff from digital releases.

This is exactly what I was thinking/hoping might've been the case here since they managed to film this with such an absurdly low budget.
