Joshua Leonard Blair Witch Salary: The Blair Witch Project was made on a budget of $60,000. The film was sold at Sundance in 1999 to Artisan Entertainment for $1.1 million. It eventually generated $250 million at the global box office. Unfortunately only a tiny percentage of the box office revenue went to the cast.
Joshua and his cast mates ended up suing Artisan after footage of the three of them appeared in the Blair Witch sequel. It's unclear if that case resulted in a settlement.
Joshua, Heather Donahue and Michael C. Williams earned $1,000 per day over the eight filming days, a total of $8,000 for the project. In the years following, their total earnings after some small bonuses and royalties amounted to $300,000 a piece.
The Compound at Breezy Hill
In 2021 Alison and Joshua paid $718,000 for a 200-year-old home set on 20 acres in New York's Hudson Valley. They performed a total renovation on the existing home, expanding the footprint by around 2,000 square feet. In August 2023 they listed this property for sale for $4.2 million. They ultimately removed the listing after lowering the price to $3.8 million. Here's a video tour of the estate which they named "Breezy Hill":
