Tom Cruise has long been on the list of Hollywood’s highest paid actors. Over the years in the industry, he has learned not only to perform the most dangerous stunts on his own, but also to make good money.
For the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” Cruise received $ 100 million (expected to reach 200 million) and took the leading position among the most expensive actors. The secret of his income is that he receives not only a fee, but also a percentage of the total wages. The direct fee of the actor was $ 13 million, the rest came from the sequel fees of the long-awaited action movie.
This is not the first time the actor uses this scheme. Her highest grossing was in Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, and the role brought Cruise his first $100 million, including box office percentage. Top Gun: Maverick became the highest-grossing movie of the year, surpassing even Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It has grossed more than $1 billion since its May 18 release: $650 million in the US and $671 million worldwide.
It is interesting that the first episode in 1986 did not particularly impress the audience, it scored 6.9 on IMDB. But nostalgia for former actors: Tom Cruise, Tim Robenson, Val Kilmer, classic action films with elements of drama and heroism of the main characters – all this played a role in the box office and in the ratings.
