You're right about RDJ.. I completely forgot about that. But RDJ famously has one of the lost lucrative structured pay deals in Hollywood.

We can agree to disagree on Tom's salary.. but if Tom was comandeering a $50M upfront salary, I really think that would have made the trades as that would be pretty record breaking for an actor his age.

As a comparison, the NYT reported on Timmy's deal for a Paramount movie he's supposed to star in as being the highest upfront salary for an actor his age since Jennifer Lawrence, and that was for $25M.

I always questioned the framing of that article because no way do I believe Timmy would be making more than Tom is for his 4th Spiderman movie. But that article was very careful to caveat that this was Timmy's upfront salary. Also, Tom is younger than Timmy.

We're talking about his upfront salary. He makes tons on residuals, as Tom Hollander famously receied one of Tom's residual checks erroneously that was in the millions.

Tom's upfront salary is not 50M. I don't know of any actor in Hollywood making that upfront.

And Kevin was referring to his total compensation accounting for backend profit shares. Not his upfront salary.

Yeah, but Z and Tom aren't repping Nike and Adidas level companies. Z chose On because she liked their ethos. I'm sure she could have gotten more going to one of the major sports brand, but she went with a smaller company. On isn't going to have the same money as the leading sportswear companies. But Z may have a structured deal where she gets a small profit share. Plus, building that relationship over years where she can have creative inputigbt mean more to her than just an upfront payday.

And Tom is an investor in Vuori. They're still pretty baby and Tom said that when he first approached them, they turned him down because they weren't at that stage yet to be able to take on celebrity endorsements. Tom being an investor means he's likely getting a lot less upfront, but is getting share profits.

Now Prada and Rolex definitely have money to pay them their rate. But, like I said, a lot of times those endorsements are years long and they get paid out a certain amount per year.

It's a $250M budget. It wasn't lacking funds. Comparatively, Dune 1 budget was $165 and Dune 2 was $190.

He should be able to take a few weeks off. Astaire won't film until Jan. Press will wrap up this month. He still has all summer and fall to rehearse before principal photography starts, and it may not actually start in Jan, or it might be late January.

Okay, what do you think they made? Cause 10 and 5M for their roles sounds about right to me based on their billing order and their current star power. I also didn't get this off X.

They must be exhausted - Z has had a few days off last week sure, but she also already did a whole promo tour a couple of months ago.

No, I wasn't even counting their endorsements as those are usually years long contracts that they get paid out over time. But I expect they're making, at minimum $1M per year on each of their endorsement deals.

They also get money from all the Spidey partnerships and commercials they're in, like for Samsung.

Of course the cavae is that this is all gross. 10-15% of what they make automatically goes to their agents, management, lawyers etc, etc.

I saw it reported that Tom made 10M for Odyssey and Z made 5M.

And even though Tom's BND salary has never been officially announced or confirmed, I imagine it's around 20-25M plus backend points. And Z would be at least 10M.

Z also has Dune 3. But from what I read. The cast of the Dune films aren't making large salaries. They're getting paid on the backend through points share.

Timmy only made 3M for the second film. So he probably got 5-7M for the third and Z may have got 4M.

The Drama was a smaller budget film, so I think Z made less than her 10M reported salary for Challengers. I'm thinking she made 7-8M +some backend points.

And we all know Z was making 1M per episode for Euphoria. So that's 8M.

So their baseline gross salaries this year have topped $30M each, but that number will exponentially grow with box office success.
