​So that’s what a movie credit is worth.
​A wannabe movie ​mogul, who is the the scion of an electronics giant,​ is suing an ind​ie film studio for cutting his name out of the credits on the upcoming ​Michael Keaton ​comedy “Birdman” ​– saying he should be paid more than a million-dollars for the slight.
Duke University grad Hoyt David Morgan, whose father Dodge Morgan sold his radar detector company Controlonics for $35 million in the 1980s, ​is suing for a total $2.7 million, seeking to also recoup the money he pumped into the production.
The ​film-credit ​snub happened after Morgan severed ties with the Manhattan-based indie house Worldview Entertainment where he had invested ​a total of ​$3.7 million in little-known films like “Joe” and “Blood Ties.”
But an agreement ending the relationship said that Morgan was due $1.7 million return on his investment plus credit in “Birdman,” which also features Emma Stone, Edward Norton and Zach Galifianakis.
He’s suing for a combined $2.7 million, and specifically states in the suit that the credit is worth $1 million​.
​In the new movie, ​Keaton plays an aging actor known for his action flicks ​who is ​preparing for a Broadway show.
The film​,​ directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu of “Babel” fame​,​ will hit U.S. cinemas in October.
Reps for Worldview did not immediately comment.
