Can you believe the money this thing made? $1 Billion + and they spent $67 Million on it.
I don't know if any of you guys have this kind of info, but I've always been fascinated to know how salaries and payments break down across every person involved in a movie. I mean, subtract $67 million from $1 Billion... Someone(s) got pAID.
- And, given it's Hollywood with its infamous accounting, you can bet your bottom dollar lots of people DIDN'T get properly compensated, including investors.Nairn
- Everyone I know that works in film gets paid very well. At least on the production sideGnash
- But like, in the hiearchy of the production side, where's the cutoff between the people making serious $ in the long run, vs those that don't?mg33
- I mean, there's no gaffer getting a windfall from this...mg33
- All the people like us don't get shit and get all the stress. Look at the behind the scenes of every movie...tank02
- ... you see the set designers, cameramen, graphics dept. tired as hell and director are mostly laughin: yeah we gave them 36 hours to come up somehitng new...tank02
- Kubrick in this sense was a monstertank02
- thing about film is that there's so much risk involved, that the people who put the most on the line reap the mostmonospaced
- Nairn is 100% correct. Hollywood accounting is a v.different beast to other industries.fadein11
- At least here, production crew does well. They’re not swimming in Malbec but everyone I know owns a home, cottage, toys like boats, and they holiday a lot.Gnash
- Even the gaffersGnash

- Lots lose big $$ or just break even. i think there are losses on a load, and very few hit paydirt. It's just those at the edges of the bellcurve we hear about.hardhat
- Producer friend of mine recently told me that boom operators and gaffers for TVCs here can earn my net monthly salary on a two day shoot. Ugh.Continuity
- ^ exactly. A friend of mine is a gaffer at TVO and he makes more than the shows producersGnash
- Still not interested in watching it.Maaku
- TV and cinema will destroy your soul. Very demanding jobs.Bennn
- Coincidently, was just browsing a high school friend's IG page. He's a camera operator, worked for Paramount for a while, has worked on shows likemg33
- Machete, Preacher, a new series called Briarpatch, a lot more. Camera and steadicam stuff.mg33
- The Production company/ studio got paid, that's who.NBQ00
- It's not trickling down to anyone except the prodco/ studio and excecsNBQ00
- @gnash, yep those on salary no doubt do okay. I'm talking about those higher up the chain, like 1st time directors, writers etc. who often foregofadein11
- decent payment for 'points' on box office. Miramax were the masters of this. So many indie directors/writers/ed... etc stitched up this way.fadein11
- Amazed more studios aren't fully investigated. They often move profits from one picture to cover costs of flops. So the huge hit didn't actually make any money.fadein11
- It's crazy.fadein11
