Pitt, Roberts, DiCaprio reportedly push to delay Weinstein Co. bankruptcy until they get paid

NEW YORK _ A litany of A-listers wants to make sure they get their money before the Weinstein Company goes under.

Hollywood's finest, including Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio, have all filed paperwork in an attempt to ensure they receive their royalty checks, according to The Blast.

Jennifer Lawrence claims she's still owed more than $102,000 for "Silver Linings Playbook," while Meryl Streep says she's waiting on paychecks for both "August: Osage County" and "The Giver," according to Deadline.

The Weinstein Company filed for bankruptcy in March after months of collapsed sales. The actors seemingly fear that there will not be enough money left to pay out the remaining debts once a bankruptcy court is done with the company.

The waiting parties also claim they aren't even sure how much they're owed because Weinstein Company accountants failed to provide accurate information, according to The Blast.

In late March, the Weinstein Company released a 394-page document listing all of the people and companies who are still owed money, including Malia Obama, Alexis Bledel, Robert De Niro, John Legend and Jerry Seinfeld.

The production company remains in limbo six months after more than 100 women came forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault.
