This is a good place to put money. Films are really expensive and a 2% increase in casting is quite a sum of money, but not compared to the overall costs. Also, associate casting directors do a decent chunk of work, so it is reasonable to be payed something at least a little more since so many Hollywood films have the budget. I only wonder if this will create any significant change in how producers choose casting agencies and agencies choose casting directors.
