in the west, the HAT (Hollywood Area Theatre) contract and a few others have a basic weekly salary for rehearsals and performance supplemented by a percentage of the box AFTER a certain dollar figure or percentage has been reached. For example, my nightly performance reports on a HAT show requires a house count broken down by comps, discounted and full price tix (which I always got from the house manager at intermission), and the producer is required to report the weekly box office figures to AEA, which calculates and confirms the additional pay (well, AEA calculates to make sure the producer has done his/her calculations correctly). I worked a show for 6 months at the Canon that basically doubled or tripled our minimums every week we were sold out, which was most of the run. It was lovely...
