I wouldn't know but guessing I'd say probably in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I believe WGA minimum is $60,000 dollars. They've been known to go as high as $5,000,000, but that's rare. I'd say a few hundred thousand is more typical.

Mine got optioned for $1000 - $5000. It can go lower, too.
The saying goes... you make money on your -next- deal.
