Affleck and Damon Secure Netflix Bonus Pool for Entire ‘Rip’ Cast and Crew

The Artists Equity arrangement departs from Netflix’s upfront-only pay model by tying a one-time payout for roughly 1,200 workers to viewership in the film’s first 90 days.

Overview

  • All participants on the nearly $100 million production are eligible for a single bonus if the movie hits defined performance tiers.
  • The film’s results will be measured against other Netflix titles over its first 90 days, though the specific metrics and thresholds were not disclosed.
  • The deal was struck through Affleck and Damon’s Artists Equity, which was created to share upside broadly across casts and crews.
  • Affleck credited Netflix’s Ted Sarandos for backing the approach, and executive Bela Bajaria signaled openness to working with the pair on this model.
  • The Rip debuts on Netflix on January 16, 2026, positioning the release as an early test of performance-based payouts on the platform.
