Title: Spiderman 3 is making a killing at the box office so far
Post by: danielson on May 05, 2007, 12:19:56 PM
Perez Hilton:


Tubby Maguire is setting new box office records!

Spider-Man 3 took the top slot from Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on Friday, marking the biggest U.S. opening day ever.

The film took in $59 million, coming in far ahead of Pirates's $55.8 previous best.

Spidey is expected to take in between $135 to $145 million this weekend.

And Kirsten Dunst probably thinks its all thanks to her!

Tobey got paid 16 mil for 3 and has been offered 20 mil for 4. I will find out later how much they both made, I can't remember the name of the sight that lists the salaries for actors.

I bet one of the original reasons for not going with famous names would be to cut down costs, now they have to pay them as they were up there with the famous names  ::)

I actually haven't seen the Matrix movies, but he sure hit the jackpot with those... I guess somewhere down the line you're ok with someone like Al Pacino getting paid, but Keanu Reeves doesn't deserve it.

Thats only 20 million per film, I thought he made much more than that actually. There are some instances where actors make a fkn killing on films, like Jack Nicholson did with Batman, I thought I heard Keanu made a killing with those films.

IMDB:

Jack Nicholson received a percentage of the gross on the film, and due to its massive box-office took home around $60 million. As of 2003 it is still the single-movie record for actor's salary.

Yes but Keanu got 10-15% of the gross. And Matrix movies made a shitload of money.

9.    Titanic    Leonardo DiCaprio    $10 millions + % of gross    $40 million

I guess his % of the gross wasn't so large because Titanic must've brought in a lot of money. Still $40 million isn't bad!

Dunst was quoted in Entertainment Weekly saying that the fans would not go see a Spider-Man movie that did not include Her, Maguire and Raimi.  Epic Ego.

Epic truth.

I can see the argument for eiter Maguire or Raimi, but I think people could care less if Dunst is in it.  She was getting "whore" chants at my screening, and I think the whole reason they brought in the Gwen Stacy character was as a fallback in case dunst doesn't come back.

You really think that? Nevermind that maybe the fans wanted to see her or to add some emotional tension between characters. Your theory is in case Kirsten Dunst doesn't come back.  ::)
