The verdict is in: Even if Paris Hilton's film "Pledge This!" bombed big-time, she won't have to fork over $8.3 million sought by movie investors because of it.

Still, the 28-year-old entertainer, model and businesswoman isn't completely out of the woods. She may have to cough up some of the $1 million fee she got for the 2006 college sorority romp.

The film's investors had sued in Miami for $8.3 million in damages — or roughly what they spent to produce the film, arguing it would have earned at least that much at the box office with proper promotion by Hilton.

U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno ruled against the investors on the damages issue, saying that "one never knows how much a movie may make."
