Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 (2011) – The Weinstein Company (film) (settled in 2012)

In February 2011, Michael Moore sued Bob and Harvey Weinstein for creative accounting to deprive him of his share of profits for the film Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore specifically claimed that the Weinstein brothers agreed to split profits from the film 50-50 but then diverted at least $2.7 million in profits from the documentary to avoid paying him. The parties reached a settlement in 2012.
