"The Hunting Party" to donate profits to charity?

The producers, actors and director of "The Hunting Party," premiering at Venice, announced they'll donate their profits from the film's release in former Yugoslavia to charities committed to de-mining. Also, QED International (the producer) is donating its fee on the sale of the territory.

But no word yet on what exactly "profits" mean. Their backend participation? How much profit does Richard Gere make after the film screens in the small, Eastern European area? The various distributors, including the Weinsteins in the US, aren't mentioned as participating in the endeavor.
