Four top Hollywood actors have received more than $100 million for a single movie, and one of these stars technically did it twice in the same year.
Actors' salaries keep increasing over time, but only four actors have ever made $100 million for a single movie. When it comes to how much money actors make, movie stars often get paid more than anyone else involved in the production. That's because stars are bankable, as certain actors come with a guaranteed audience, meaning that even movies that are negatively received could be hugely successful thanks to the right person in the lead role.
It isn't clear how much was his upfront salary and how much was back-end points, but Smith made $100 million for Men in Black 3 . He likely had a similar deal to the one he made for Men in Black II. If Smith had his standard upfront salary of $40 million, 10 percent of the $654 million box-office gross would amount to just over $60 million, and together those amounts would reach the $100 million mark.
Damon's schedule conflict led to Worthington getting a bigger payday than almost any other actor. However, it wasn't until the second movie that he got the big check, and though it still isn't close to Damon's original offer, Worthington joined the $100 million club for Avatar: The Way of Water. The sequel unsurprisingly became a huge success, and while it didn't come close to the first Avatar's almost $3 billion box office gross, it still made over $2 billion.
