A production company will option your script (cheaper than buying it), and then attach a director and actors. The production company will look for investors, and if there's an investor, this is how the prod-co gets the money to make the movie. At this time, they would pay you / buy the script for what was agreed upon in the option agreement. Once the movie is completed, and released to theaters, the ticket sales are the "box office receipts." Most indie films do not get released in theaters. If you are a writer starting off, you may take a deferred payment (meaning you will not receive any money upfront, and will only be paid IF the movie makes money ---- which means you probably will not see a paycheck).
