M.ilions of dollars. If you are wondering how much Hollywood stars earn for every film this is the answer that applies to everyone. But there are also important differences between the various cachets. It was to do the accounts in the pockets of the stars Varietywhich put Tom Cruise at the top of the Scrooge list for a reason.
Star salaries: $ 100 million for Tom Cruise
In the ranking of Variety, Tom Cruise is a more unique than rare case. Compared to the other colleagues who ask for an initial total amount, the actor would be satisfied with a lower wage but asking for a percentage of the proceeds. This strategy leads the star to earn for Top Gun: Maverick a whopping 100 million dollars. And that he also adopted for the next chapters of Mission Impossible: the actor will receive between 12 and 14 million initial, to which add the percentage from the box office.
The other salaries of the stars
In the ranking of Variety the other six-zero salaries of the stars appear. Come on Will Smith’s 35 million for the film Emancipation to the 30 million to Leonardo Di Caprio for Killers of the Flower Moon, the new film by Martin Scorsese. Same figure for Brad Pitt che will star in a drama about Formula 1. To follow, there are the 22.5 million obtained by Dwayne Johnson to star in the DC movie Black Adamwhile Netflix will pay 20 million to Chris Hemsworth for Extraction 2 And 10 million to Millie Bobby Brown for Enola Holmes.
The earnings of Jason Momoa and Joaquin Phoenix
Jason Momoa in Aquaman (Ipa)
And we come to two other big names in cinema, Jason Momoa and Joaquin Phoenix. Their cases explain how business is in Hollywood. The former had a deal to appear in the sequel to Aquaman. But after the film passed the $ 1 billion mark, according to reports from Variety, the actor renegotiated his deal to double his salary. Like this Jason Momoa will gross $ 15 million for his second trip to Atlantis. The same thing he did Joaquin Phoenix. When she first performed Joker in 2019, he earned $ 4.5 million. The film went on to earn more than $ 1 billion and took the actor to an Oscar. So if Warner Bros. wants to see the actor in clown makeup again, they’ll have to shell out well 20 million dollars.
The case Oppenheimer
Stratospheric figures, therefore. But each film has its own story. Let’s take the case of Oppenheimer, the film of Christopher Nolan on the creation of the atomic bomb. A production worth 100 million dollars on which Universal is betting in a particular way precisely because it is linked to the Nolan name. In the cast they appear Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt: stars who generally negotiate salaries ranging from 10 to 20 million each. But for the privilege of working with Nolan they would be ready to cut their salary, earning only $ 4 million each. And showing that, after all, even for Hollywood stars, money is not everything.
