In 1953, the WGA negotiated residuals for up to five reruns for made-for-TV shows. That said, film actors were still not paid residuals for reruns. ... They would issue a one-time payout of $2.25 million for movies made between 1948 and 1960, and movies made before 1948 would not be eligible for any residuals.
