Harvey Weinstein Sues ‘Finding Neverland’ Musical Producers Over $2.3 Million Dispute
Convicted Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has filed a new lawsuit—this time targeting the producers behind the national tour of Finding Neverland, claiming they owe him and his companies more than $2.3 million.
In court documents filed on Tuesday, August 5, and reviewed by TMZ, Weinstein alleges that his partners in the touring production withheld payments owed to him and two of his companies: Weinstein Live Entertainment and Finding Neverland USA LLC.
Weinstein claims the agreement dates back to 2016 when Finding Neverland ended its Broadway run and prepared for a national tour. While he admits no final written agreement was ever signed, he says both sides began fulfilling their financial obligations when the tour launched in October 2016. However, he argues the payments eventually stopped without explanation.
The lawsuit further accuses the producers of collecting 4% of the tour’s gross revenue—estimated at $4.6 million—without proper authorization. According to Weinstein, he and his companies had a 50% ownership stake, entitling them to half of that revenue, plus interest. He is also demanding legal fees be covered.
Weinstein says the financial terms originally included a $4,000 weekly advance, a $3,750 weekly consulting fee, a $2,000 guaranteed weekly minimum, and 27.5% of the net profits from the tour.
TMZ notes that efforts have been made to contact Network Presentations and the National Artist Management Company for comment, though no response has been reported as of yet.
This new lawsuit comes just weeks after a New York jury returned a partial guilty verdict in Weinstein’s high-profile s3x crimes retrial. A mistrial was declared on another r@pe charge due to safety concerns raised by the jury foreperson.
Weinstein is already serving a 16-year prison sentence in California following separate convictions related to s3xual assault charges in Los Angeles.
