Modern contracts have perpetual royalties. They last until the film no longer has copyright (which is 95 years for a production company as the “creator” of the film). That's a required stipulation ing to union rules from SAG/AFTRA, the actor's guild.
For film, performers receive residuals for anything that goes beyond the original intention for the production, such as videos/DVDs, downloads, and screenings on streaming services that fall outside of the original distribution avenue. Film royalties percentages range, but generally fall between 1% and 20%.
Most actor contracts are between two and three pages long. The typical term for an actor contract is a certain a number of months after the film or play premieres, although some go on indefinitely. Term lengths can vary greatly! The typical term for an agent or manager contract for actors is about 12 to 18 months.
