Again, it’s quite a current topic. Watched just headed to the cinemas creator, which, according to the majority of the MovieZone editors, is not only a disappointment, irritating with its stupidity even other domestic (and properly hardened) consumers of Hollywood blockbusters, but… Perhaps everyone agrees that the 80 million sci-fi looks maybe three times more expensive than what it actually cost. Just in contrast to the novelty Garetha Edwardse it costs Marvels, which will be heading to the multiplexes already at the beginning of November, and according to the trailers, it seriously doesn’t look like something that should have cost 220 megabytes or more. Especially when we take into account the reported and surprisingly moderate footage of about 93 minutes.
The main reason for the high budgets of current blockbusters as such is apparently the high salaries of the biggest stars. No, I didn’t come up with that myself. These are the words of the former president of NBC studios and a film producer Toma Nuna. Of course, if he released something similar into the world, for example Kevin Feige or Bob Igerit would be better, but for now we have to settle for My Nunane. He places these costs for “talents” (that is, not only actors, but also directors, producers and others) above spending on visual effects, action sequences, expensive locations, etc. Today, in this context, we will mainly focus on Marvel movies and concentrate on actors’ fees and an actress in superhero roles.
It’s no secret that when they started out in their superhero roles Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth or Paul Ruddso they received a check for an almost embarrassing few hundred thousand dollars for the first film. Downey he was supposed to receive a payment of 500,000 dollars for the first railwayman, with the fact that some sources today state 2.5 megabytes, which I personally explain by the fact that they also count on some low percentages of sales from cinemas and at that time still extremely profitable home carriers, which he Feige already indulged for the first time.
How she was thirteen years ago Scarlett Johansson? She took za Iron Mana 2 only 400,000, while Rudd a Evans supposedly for the first Ant-Manrespectively Captain America they even received “only” 300 sticks and Hemsworth had for Torah to collect an almost unbelievably low 150 thousand. Why did they accept such “low” wages? Because they correctly guessed that a new acting chapter is opening for them and they will definitely not be harmful in the future. AT Downey it’s estimated that all the Marvel movies have made him more than 400 million bucks, and it’s no secret that he’s grabbed the vast majority (as well as his lucky counterparts) thanks to the high and shared profits from the final pair for now Avengers.
Chris Evans as the beloved Cap had for farewell Endgame dostat 20 mega (Ultron a Infinity War he is said to have earned him 15). Hemsworth he was said to be the last Avengers rewarded almost identically to his namesake (however, the different Ultron earned him “only” a boor), while for the last Thor he was taking two straight. I would like to specify to you now whether it is twenty million in advance or the total payment including a percentage notice for the still relatively high 760 million global sales, but unfortunately I could not find the info. This, by the way and unfortunately, applies (unless otherwise mentioned) to all mentioned day laborers.
We’re just getting started. Johansson you are for a solo Black Widow she said about twenty balls on the wood and another 20-40 (!) she allegedly landed on Disneym for the ill-conceived contemporary premiere of the film on Disney+ . Ale i ten Paul Rudd in the background it is already collecting huge sums. For the role of Ant-Man’s doubles and especially Endgame he got a total of 41 (!) megs and the last solo of the anteater was supposed to get him a check for ten million in advance. There are no small roles for Holt, and just u Ant-Mana I will stop for a moment.
It is with the older Marvel origins that Nunan’s lesson mentioned below about the biggest part of the budget pie falling on the salaries of the stars, of course, fails. Rudd after all, he took only 300,000, and although Michael Douglas, of course, collected much more, it is still logical to assume that most of the reported 130 million budget fell on those tricks, locations and the overall expensive several-month filming. However, the same really applies to Ant-Man a Wasp: Quantumania?
Rudd he wasn’t the only one who improved dramatically. The increase in wages was certainly met by i Evangeline Lilly a Michaela Douglase. Not to mention the director and others. Of course, in their case we can hardly talk about more than thirty times the weight compared to the number one, but it is through this lens that the budget of the three 200 megabytes takes on a completely different contour. If the tricksters were also fairly rewarded and the VFX received the necessary (and of course much more expensive) care given the number of those scenes, we could easily have reached a quarter of a billion. If not above.
I will stay with Marvelbut I will leave for a moment Disney’s. He was perhaps the last “poor man” who should have received only a few hundred thousand dollars for his role Tom Holland ve Spider-Man: Homecoming (some sources say as low as $250,000 up front) from the workshop Sony. Tom back then he could only be envious Downeywhich in a few scenes in Spider-Manovi, which was reportedly shot in just three days, collected $15 million in advance plus an unspecified percentage of sales. If you’ve read in the past that Bob made 40 million in total, you’re not alone.
Okay, so the salaries of Marvel’s biggest stars are skyrocketing, but how do we get out of it? Making more origins with cheaper actors at first who will be the same as fifteen years ago Downey and co. promised to see endless fame and coffers filled with more sequels, culminating of course with another pair of Avengers? This no longer works in the difficult present, and we are getting to Simu Liuwho appeared in the Marvel movies in the main role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. In this case, the budget should have been at least 150 million.
Did you also tip the initial half meg for the nice guy and that’s it? Anyway, publicly available sources list a surprisingly high six balls. As if Telephone and his demanding team of managers, lawyers, etc. correctly guessed that there was seriously no guarantee that their star-to-be would show up in the next eight comic shops and eventually get twenty balls up front and a percentage on top. Let’s continue.
Just a few months after Shang-Chi in the autumn of the summer of 2021, an ambitious and controversially received team movie premiered Eternals. According to Forbes, the budget rose to an incredible 276 million, not the originally reported two kilos. To be sure, I remind you that global sales have stopped at the desperately insufficient 400 mega mark. How high fees did the lucky few take home? For example Gemma Chan in one of the main roles, she didn’t get half a mega to begin with. She should have collected ten times as much. Millions were also taken by other colleagues led by by Richard Madden. That’s still nothing compared Angelina Joliewhich her team says (I emphasize this word because Marvel officially never confirm anything) negotiated a whopping 35 meg! That’s even two balls more than she had since Disney’s get behind the fairy tale Malice – Queen of Dark Magic.
I’m going to skip a bit, but we’re finally getting to the greasy stuff Marvelswhich I already mentioned in the introduction. Feige and co. I think they’re pulling out the rest of their hair, because they clearly see that despite the early exceptions to the sequel Thor, Strange and the Guardians they lose tens and hundreds of millions more and more often. The decline in audience interest has been clearly visible in recent years, and this year it will probably peak at Marvels.
I’m not a witch and yes, there is a possibility of a return Carol Danvers it will be a success on the silver screen, but I don’t have much faith in it. I would rather guess a flop and global sales somewhere in the insufficient 400 balls. What to add in this context? Brie Larson you are super successful Captain Marvelwhich, however, was driven out for a billion mainly by interest in Endgame, she said about the boor and got it. According to speculations, the (un)expected fall sequel should earn her at least 15 million in advance.
As far as money for Hollywood stars starring in Marvel movies, I’m done. But I would probably blame myself if I didn’t try to put the list of gauges into some wider context. If you want, continue to the second (and, given the title of the article, somewhat of a bonus) chapter.
