I'm not entirely sure but I think there's a residual side to this that affects the bottom line for certain big-time actors and directors, since deals for movies like Dune and Tenet, for example, were signed way before any covid lockdowns. This might explain the outrage.
For certain directors, theatrical releases, streaming, bluray sales, in-flights entertainment, network broadcasts - each come with some form of compensation. Not every director has those kinds of deals, but the ones who have been outspoken about this deal do.
I'm sure there's more to that, but $$ for big name players is certainly part of the equation.
