It turns out that Jack Nicholson ended up making a lot of money playing Joker Tim Burton’S Batman despite the reduction of his normal salary. At the time, Nicholson’s asking price to star in a film was $ 10 million.
According to Far Out Magazine, Nicholson’s involvement in the film was a must. It was necessary for Burton to do the Batman film he imagined. Nicholson knew the film was going to be a huge hit, so when he negotiated he asked for $ 6 million upfront, along with a reduction in the film’s box office and merchandising profits.
It may have been the smartest move Nicolson has made in her career because she made up to $ 90 million from that deal, which would be around $ 200 million today with inflation. Batman grossed over $ 400 million at the box office.
I have to say that Nicholson made all that money. He was pretty damn awesome in the role of Joker!
