'The Nun' Actress Bonnie Aarons Sues Warner Bros, Says They Aren't Being Honest About Revenue She's Owed

The Nun actress Bonnie Aarons is taking Warner Bros. Discovery to court over her payout for her involvement with the film franchise.

The 62-year-old actress has been playing the demonic nun Valak since 2016′s The Conjuring 2, which led to her spinoff series. She suited up again for 2023′s The Nun II, out in September.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bonnie feels that hasn’t been paid out her share in merchandising sales.

In the lawsuit, Bonnie alleges that she was paid $71,500 for her appearance in the first The Nun movie. She was promised a sizeable bonus of $175,000 and profits from merchandise bearing her likeness. More specifically, she’s owed a “pro-rata share of 5% of 50% of the gross receipts.”

However, the court documents say that “Warner Bros. obscures and hides the true amount of Ms. Aarons‘ rightful share of merchandising revenues.”

The numbers that she has been shown are said to be “inconsistent with the extensive merchandising activities.” She was also sent a “spreadsheet that contained line items corresponding to only a fraction of the known licenses.”
