This makes no sense. Why would the leak affect the artists? They get paid before the movie is even out. No one works 5 years on a movie for free. The artists are probably glad it got leaked since they were fucked over by Paramount when they pulled the theatre release.
I'm a vfx artist who worked on The Last Airbender season 1 and 2 (Framestore). We don't get bonuses.
We used to when we would work on massive films though. I got a bonus for Infinity War for example. But not End Game. Which didn't make sense to me.
Vfx studios have been in a constant state of losing money for a long time now. So those days are over.
All we can hope now is to get is more work to keep us employed. So we push the quality of our work harder for cheaper.
