They’re Making How Much!?

By 98.5 KYGO on May 1, 2019

“Variety” put out a ‘sampling’ of Hollywood salaries, which includes both upcoming movies and ones that are already out.

It’s not quite like the ’90s, when actors like Julia Roberts, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, and Jim Carrey could command $20 million for any movie they starred in, but some of today’s stars are still making serious bank.

Here are the salaries they listed . . .

1.  Ryan Reynolds, “Six Underground” (no release date), $27 million

2.  Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” (2019), $20 million

3.  Robert Downey Jr., “The Voyage of Doctor Doolittle” (2020), $20 million

4.  Will Smith, “Bad Boys for Life” (2020), $17 million

5.  Jason Statham, “Hobbs & Shaw” (2019), $13 million

6.  Tom Cruise, “Top Gun: Maverick” (2020), $12 to $14 million

7.  Emily Blunt, “A Quiet Place 2” (2020), $12 to $13 million

8.  Gal Gadot, “Wonder Woman 1984” (2020), $10 million

9.  Brad Pitt, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (2019), $10 million

10.  Leonardo DiCaprio, “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” (2019), $10 million, which “Variety” says is half his rate.  Same story for Brad Pitt.  They reportedly took pay-cuts for Quentin Tarantino to do it together.

11.  Margot Robbie, “Birds of Prey” (2020), $9 to 10 million

12.  Idris Elba, “Hobbs & Shaw” (2019), $8 million

13.  Ben Affleck, “Triple Frontier” (2019), $8 million

14.  Kristen Stewart, “Charlie’s Angels” (2019), $7 million

15.  Martin Lawrence, “Bad Boys for Life” (2020), $6 million

16.  Joaquin Phoenix, “Joker” (2019), $4.5 million

17.  Jessica Chastain, “It: Chapter 2” (2019), $2.5 million
