The Complaint alleges that New Line failed to report 80% of the DVD income, and I have a feeling, combined with what Child said, that New Line was running a time-honored scam- er- methodology of Hollywood Accounting: New Line Cinema sold the DVDs to its wholly-owned subsidiary New Line Video at 20 cents on the dollar, and then claimed that 'they' (NLC) only realized that much revenue, pretending that NLV's revenues wound up on Pluto.

Incidentally, the Complaint is now online at http://news.findlaw.com/nytimes/docs...e21108cmp.html
