Universal Pictures' lawsuit

After the conclusion of Problem Child 2 , Universal Pictures sued Oliver’s executive mom, Dianne Ponce, for extorting his acting deal with the studio. Universal Pictures claimed that Ponce threatened to remove their son from production the night before filming unless his pay for the film was increased from $ 80,000 to $ 500,000.

A Supreme Court judge ruled that the contract was unenforceable because Universal Pictures was pressured and Ponce and Oliver were required to repay the difference between the 250,000 Universal Pictures paid so far and the 80,000 originally negotiated.
