The studio has been negotiating with the principal talent for months, offering them a share of the profits if the film reaches certain box office milestones. However, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav declined to approve the proposed deal because he believed it was too generous. The studio has made a series of big offers to finalize deals for the upcoming film, but has been unable to reach an agreement thus far. The film, a massive hit with audiences and critics, grossed $1.5 billion worldwide and earned eight Oscar nominations, winning one for best original song. Upon its release, the film also became a cultural phenomenon thanks to its marketing campaign, signature pink aesthetic and simultaneous release with Christopher Nolan's 'Blown Away.'
