Aniston's filing states: "She must be given a FULL and FAIR opportunity to examine the Debtors' books as well as their records concerning a reconciliation of the revenues generated by the Film and the expenses claimed by the Debtors as credits/offsets to the payment of applicable revenues to her." Jennifer herself has stated, "I strongly believe that The Weinstein Company's claim of what I'm owed, is incorrect. I also believe that the studio hasn't provided me with accurate accounting reports of the the movie's [
