Payments to producers of the film looks like this:

MNight - 7.2M$ + 0.3M$ + 3M$

Sam Mercer - 850k$

Scott Rudin - 3M$

Aren't producers the one investing in the movie. Why are they getting paid then, How does this work?

Edit: Other expenses like travel etc are also covered by the company which adds another 1M$ approx [ex: 41.23]
