Not really.
Seriously though!?$+4-$-

With the revenue sharing split, I think Abrams wins.

I really didn't want to bring it up here, but I didn't see a way around it in responding to the guy's post.

Only £300,000 and a cut of the profits? Boega and Daisy are pretty much unpaid interns. We should organise a food drive so they don't starve to death.

Stupid of me not to have considered it, but I didn't expect story spoilers in a salary thread.

Actors are paid for their star power. Even the very best actors on the planet aren't paid 1 million plus dollars for just their acting ability.

So what you're saying is Ford is going to a billionaire. Remarkable.
BB-8. I think the most impressive part of the performance is how he managed to fit his entire body in the spherical carapace. Guess he must do yoga.

I don't think that typecasting is as big a deal these days. I'm not saying that Ridley and Boyega are destined to be big openers but there are a lot more "respectable" venues for actors now. There is nothing wrong if they end up being a part of a TV series when these films are all over.
And Oscar Isaac is already on fire in his career and really has no worries at all. Dude's going to be around for the long haul and he's got the charisma to even potentially end up with a DiCaprio or McConaughey career.
Further, no one from the prequels was really typecast. Portman and McGregor don't lack for work. Christensen may really be the only unfair victim but I don't know enough about his career to know if he's voluntarily on the outs. Jumper certainly didn't help him, that's for sure. And his case isn't about typecasting anyway.

I don't think The Force Awakens needed Han to be wildly successful. I'm not even sure Luke was necessary.
You don't understand the pull Ford had/has on the previous generation, bro.
Maybe he wasn't needed to be successful, but I doubt it would be AS successful without him.

Guys posting spoilers even in spoiler tags what are you thinking!
Seen the film already so not mad but still!

Ironic how Carrie is getting paid that much less when she's doing the most PR for the film. She and her dog are EVERY where for this thing and their interviews are getting hits in the millions on YouTube.

I am the previous generation? I was excited to see the Millennium Falcon again. An old Han and Leia didn't really do much for me.
*shrug*
Anecdotal evidence, I guess. All the gen-Xers I knew were hyped based on Han alone.

I think he was just content doing voice acting work, in recent interviews he has talked about how he was hoping Harrison Ford would say no so he didn't have to do TFA, but since he did he didn't want to be the only OG cast member to say no.

Jesus christ he got points on the film. That's money
Holy shit you all suck at math.
16.7 million British Pounds is around $25 million USD.
That's up front money.
Then he gets .5% of the gross which is .005.
Harder to say exactly how much this is worldwide because currencies are different in each country this movie will play in, but in the US this weekend, he made:
238,000,000 * .005 = $1,190,000
edit: oh and I forgot the $1.5 million for the broken leg.

Never thought I'd see so many borderline spoilers in a salary thread. Guess I'll stay off the internet.

It's as deserved as anybody. He had so many targets to hit the pressure must have been enormous. A misfire could have seriously put Disney's $4 billion investment in the IP in jeopardy.
I guess that depends on how you define success. There's thousands of aspiring actors out there most of whom would kill to have Mark Hamill's exact career path. Yeah, he didn't become a megastar but not everyone can be Michael Jordan.
In general I think actors have a lot more opportunity to put themselves out there so typecasting isn't the problem it used to be.
He's already starring in 3 other big films besides Star Wars over the next few years. Boyega is sorted. I believe Daisy Ridley is doing her degree alongside Star Wars.
