Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted February 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 Vince Vaughn somehow got a $17.5million fee for The Dilemma...... Going by this pay scheme, someone (no idea who) owes me a good $6m for the 3lb shit I had last Tuesday. Â Even though it's good to see the idea men and actors taking a chunk of the profits, it doesn't make those numbers any less horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Dammer Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Spielbergs royalties from Universal theme parks, I know that alot of the rides are based on his films etc but how on earth do they make enough profit to give him $50m a year?

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have absolutely no idea what Taylor Lautner even looks like and judging by what he's been in, I think that's probably a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Quentin Posted February 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 Fucking staggering that people think an Owen Wilson performance is worth $8 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbro1984 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Fucking staggering that people think an Owen Wilson performance is worth $8 million. Never mind him, at least he's had at least one decent role under his belt. Who the fuck is this Lautner guy though? $25mil for 2 of those godawful Twilight films? That is outrageous money. Not to mention Adam Sandler who has done fuck all of worth for a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Are you serious? Universal Studios has approx 50m visitors a year! Tickets are something like 70 Dollars. Then you have the god knows how much revenue is generated from Merchandise, Food etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what they are paying for stuff like Shrek, Simpson, MIB, The Mummy, Nickelodeon, Marvel etc. Spielberg has barely anything to do with the parks apart from 2 rides that I can think of and he's getting $50m?

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 22, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2011 I really can not sensibly compute and fathom these kind of sums of money. They're so ridiculous I jsut can't wrap my head around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny McBride Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yeah, but just because you haven't heard the name of the actor playing a key role in one of the most successful film franchises in the world right now doesn't mean he's not a big earner. I'm kind of surprised that he's the biggest money out of the Twilight leads though. Maybe it's because he's not in the first one, so he didn't sign a four picture deal before that turned out to be a massive success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just had to get in shape for the 2nd movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Of course the figure is madness, but if they couldnt afford it i don't think they would be paying it. The Universal parks are a multi billion dollar generating revenue stream.
