The actors are asking Lionsgate to pay them retroactive residuals for their work in the film.

The actors also asked for creative input in the Blair Witch franchise, which to date has spawned two more films, multiple novels, comic books, a video game series and an upcoming revival that Lionsgate announced this month, in collaboration with popular horror studio Blumhouse.“Our film has now been rebooted twice, both times were a disappointment,” the open letter reads.

The sum of the grant reflects the initial budget of the 1999 film, which went on to make more than $248m at the worldwide box office.
