Producer Leonora Darby Sues Over Profit Share in 'Obsession' Film
Leonora Ann Darby, an executive producer on the 2025 horror film 'Obsession,' has filed a lawsuit against Tea Shop Productions and its co-founders James Harris and Mark Lane. Darby alleges she was denied her agreed share of profits despite playing a key role in reshaping the film during post-production. The film, made on a $750,000 budget, grossed over $500 million worldwide. Darby claims she was promised one-third of net profits but was excluded after the film's success.
