Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Not saying they deserve less, but I bet the new folks would have done it for even less.
Some creative accounting is pretty much the norm I think.
Lol wow m8 u rekt urself.
That's why gross vs net is so important. Can't do that with gross. Just with net.
Hamill lost in a motorcycle crash.

He will make 10 million. Of which 50 % will be taxes.
Looool
It's 0.5%, not 5%.

Just out of interest Alec Guinness' point share was 2.25% of A New Hopes gross.

He had Disney by the nuts. He is the most famous so he didn't need to do it, had the least to gain from being in it.
So you're saying he's going to make $1B?!?!? holy!

Makes sense for Ford. He's the only star in the movie.

So using Fords % cut of the film gross. I can speculate that Boyega and Ridley have made an extra 45 grand so far. Ford got an extra 2 million this weekend.

He took a 6 year break after Jedi, went to Broadway. When you see Hamill, you see Luke Skywalker and was type-casted as a result. A damn shame. Luckily, he found a niche as a voice actor, where you don't see his face. He played Amadeus on Broadway and when it was being made into a movie, a movie studio executive told the people making the film, "I don't want Luke Skywalker in this film".
oh right, got my math wrong lol. 10 mil sounds about right

Just wtf.
Now that dude got paid. He pretty much got what Ford is potentially getting in points... in 1977 USD.

The new girl and dude got shafted. 300k for a franchise this caliber is way too low fro a main character.
Many no-name actors would do it for next to nothing.

I would rather be safe than sorry, I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen EP7.

That's the thing... The franchise is huge without those two. Sure, they're great in the role, but the film arguably would have been huge anyway. They're just along for the awesome ride.
Disney gonna Marvel. But man, if they have like 0.1% in points they'll still get over a million.
Exactly. This movie paid them with opportunity. There is only 1 original Han Solo, but thousands of aspiring actors who would have done this for much less / nothing.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Disney also doesn't get 100% of the gross mentioned on the likes of boxofficemojo.com, domestic is usually 50-55% of that said amount, 40% abroad, and 25% China.

Ridley didn't do a movie before this. For all those people that didn't see Attack the Block, Boyega is going to be huge after this.

Doubt it'll be substantially more, they're probably contracted for the trilogy already to avoid exactly that happening.
Disney's answer will always be "we gave you a career and could have given it to others for less"
It is because of Disney Chris Hemsworth keeps being able to do bomb after bomb.
One movie bombs, and he does his Thor thing, and they forget the dude isn't a draw.

Or he gets hamilled and never gets a role after the trilogy again. Nobody knows. Is there any actor that truly became successful after a Star Wars role that isn't Harrison Ford?
