Blair Witch Project Stars Demand Fair Compensation After Years of Financial Struggle

The actors reveal how they were sidelined and underpaid despite the film's massive success.

Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard were restricted from publicizing the film to maintain its 'missing' narrative.
The film grossed $248 million globally on a $35,000 budget, but the actors initially received minimal compensation.
The trio struggled with financial instability, working odd jobs despite the film's success.
They reached a $300,000 settlement in 2004 but continue to seek residuals and fair compensation.
The actors recently penned a public letter to Lionsgate demanding residual payments and consultation on future projects.
