In film production, a negative pickup is a contract entered into by an independent producer and a movie studio wherein the studio agrees to purchase the movie from the producer at a given date and for a fixed sum. Depending on whether the studio pays part or all of the cost of the film, the studio will receive the domestic, international, DVD and/or TV rights to the film, with net profits split between the producer and the studio.

un contrat (accord) à risque
Un risque: A ses risques et périls: en acceptant la responsabilité de tout ce qui peut arriver.
My translation assumes that "negative" in this context means that there are potential risks on both sides - the producer gets a set price, but gives up some potential profits while the studio pays out in hopes of making a buck, but could potentially lose big if the movie flops and makes less than the agreed upon selling price.
