TOM HANKS - HANKS DROPS BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING LAWSUIT

HANKS DROPS BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING LAWSUIT

LATEST: TOM HANKS, his wife RITA WILSON and actress NIA VARDALOS have dropped their legal battle over profits from hit 2002 movie MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING.
Vardalos wrote the script for the comedy, while Hanks and Wilson were producers of the film.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding proved to be an unexpected blockbuster, earning profits of $368 million (GBP184 million).
However, the trio later accused their co-financiers at Gold Circle Films of reneging on agreements to pay the stars a share of the takings, and filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2007.
But the firm's bosses have reportedly refused to pay the plaintiffs any share of the profits or damages - and Hanks, Wilson and Vardalos have since decided to put an end to the legal wrangling by dropping the suit altogether. They have yet to give a specific reason for their actions.
