When a song is licensed for a soundtrack, are royalties still paid to songwriters, publishers, etc... based on sales of that record with song on it?

Do ticket sales for the movie have an effect on royalties owed to artist for a song that's in the movie, but might or might not be on a soundtrack if one exists?

If it's a previously existing song, it is usually retitled for royalty tracking purposes (so "Yellow Ledbetter" is registered with ASCAP as "Yellow Ledbetter - Friends Finale" or something like that). I worked in music licensing for a while and explain the mechanics in greater detail in a thread somewhere on RM.
Yes, that is exactly what I meant.
Example: State of Love and Trust on the Singles soundtrack. When I buy my remastered version of this record, even tho a fee has been paid to include SOLAT, do the appropriate people still get royalties for that song?
