A motion filed Monday by the lawyers for Brewvies Cinema Pub — which recently won a judge’s ruling overturning the state’s attempt to fine the Salt Lake City bar and movie theater for showing the R-rated “Deadpool” while serving booze — totals the attorneys’ fees and court costs it’s asking the state to pay back. The figure: $534,431.05.

In a 21-page motion, with 159 pages of supporting documents, Brewvies’ attorneys detail how they arrived at that figure. Most of the sum consists of fees for lead attorney Rocky Anderson and four other attorneys, a law clerk and two paralegals.
