Kevin Smith Says Harvey Weinstein Refused to Pay Him Royalties for ‘Clerks’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Kevin Smith sold his first movie, “Clerks,” to Harvey Weinstein out of the Sundance Film Festival in 1994.
Weinstein, who ran Miramax at the time, shelled out $227,000 for the black-and-white movie set in a video store. But their agreement allowed for Smith to receive a backend if the movie became profitable.
