I don't get it. 250k for about three years worth of work at the turn of the century is still more than most people make. I know my parents didn't make anywhere near that much and they didn't have to sell the house. What gives?
>>222540800No residuals is retarded. 150k per movie would be fair
>>222540800Now look up his early life section.
>>222540800It’s because he received large chunks of money instead of steady paychecks. Most people have a paycheck to paycheck mentality so you give someone $100,000 with the promise of another $100,000 and they’ll scramble to figure out how to spend that first $100,000 on bullshit and that’s why they’ll always be broke. The investor class is the only way out of the rat race.
"Peter...share the load"
sounds like his managers weren't serving his best interests
>>222540800His glasses are absolutely filthy, I can't believe he can even see out of them. What does he use to clean them? A paper towel smeared with Crisco?
>>222540800Mark Hamill was paid $650K for A New Hope alone back in 1977, got 0.25% of the backend profits, and his salary increased every movie. $75K per movie as a main character in a major hit in the 21st century is pretty fucking bad. Orlando Bloom did even worse, getting $175K for the trilogy.
$250.000 would be life changing money for me an billions of people on this Earth. Why should I feel bad that he got his life resolved? Oh no he can't afford a mansion in LA! Boo fucking hoo. That kind of money could potentially last you a lifetime if you aren't retarded.
>>222540800What's that chudtard jpg about leftists constantly feigning to not understand things?
>>222540800maybe he should not have eaten all the money and taken a financial literacy class.
Most of the fellowship were relatively unknown actors which is why they were cast in those roles. Orlando Bloom famously got like 200k for all three films - but now they're all millionaires because the roles catapulted their careers. They don't really have grounds to complain imo.
It wasn't 3 years of work. Maybe collectively a year at the most. And he was practically a nobody in the 90s, except that kid from Rudy and goonies. And definitely got more work in the 00s thanks to lotr. And I'll happily take 250 for 3 years of work. It would actually pay off my house and other debts.
>>222540943Please explain to me how 75K is "bad" salary per movie? Some people can't even get to 30K in a single year, hope you realize actors are also people and not demi-Gods that deserve a better life than you and me.
>>222540800the cast of blair witch project made literally nothing other than what they were paid for the shoot. keep in mind they literally filmed it themselves on top of improvising the entire thing outside of plot points. many such horror stories. OP is right though, doubt he'd get that 250k without LotR and he has a fucking money spigot on the convention circuit for the rest of his days so I don't feel bad for him
>>222540891That's what he gets for becoming a filthy prot
According to (((Hollywood accounting))), the LotR trilogy made no money, therefore no one gets residuals.
>>222540943Hamill played the mc. Astin played the sidekick.
Adjusting to 2026 purchasing power, $250,000 in 2000 is $485,000 today.
>>222540945You are brown
>>222540945That’s $250k over like 3 years of filming.
>>222540973It was about a year and a half. Principal photography was around 430 continuous days in 1999 and 2000, and then there were about six weeks of additional shooting each year for three years between 2001 and 2003. Keep in mind that while they are on contract and have to be available to fly to New Zealand for those additional shoots, which means they can't pick up any major new projects while under that contractual obligation. That's a period of about 38 months.
>>222541007>That’s $250k over like 3 years of filming.Still more than what the average person earns in 3 years. Sounds pretty fucking good for 3 years of effortless work to me.
>>222540970I honestly can't name anything he's been in after the LotR series.
>>222541017Wel okay then. He wasn't in every scene, much less every shot. But let's say 1.5 years of work, 1.5 years of sitting on his ass playing tomb raider.
>>222541006That's right goy, certain (((people))) are entitled to astronomical paychecks, specially if they serve our goals of propaganda and cultural dominance. Get mad because your (((idol))) didn't earn 7 figures for playing pretend in front of a camera.
>>222541060Stranger things and 24
$250,000 usd was more than enough to buy a 2 bedroom condo or small house 20+ years agowas this guy unemployed the whole time after? :s
>>222541076a couple episodes of Big Bang Theory
>>222541007So € 485000 adjusted. € 13472 per month. And remember this is in the 2000s when you could still buy a home. Lets say he did and bought a house for 400K. That would be worth 700/800K easy today, depending on location. What the fuck is he complaining about?
What was the net on 250k after taxes back then
>>222541076>>222541060He was in a couple Adam Sandler films too.
>>222541072And you're not entitled to shit because your country is a literal third world hell hole
>>222541031Film sets are miserable and you're there for ages. Seriously your average plumber would rather be plumbing. A good established plumber probably makes more than 80k a year anyway but yeah, not bad for dressing up and playing pretend
Where are all the feminists getting pissed at this? I bet the pay gap between this guy and Cate Blanchett was huge.Where's the outrage?
>>222541097I don't think he's complaining. Keep in mind that these Hollywood tabloids will always sensationalise stories to get the most amount of clicks. One of the nastier tricks they'll do is they'll be the one that asks a question about something and then they'll frame the headline as if the actor going around spreading the story when the only reason the actor addressed the issue was because they were asked. This could very much just be Sean Astin sharing a story from this time in his life, that's then twisted to make it sound like he's complaining.
>>222541060He mostly does voice acting and obscure shitty movies.
>>222541060The Hobbit, Black Hawk Down, Pirates of the Caribbean, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, and at least 20 or 30 fucking romance movies and various other dumb shit. And pic related.
>>222541072If you think 250K is "life changing money" you are brown. Yes, getting it all at once is nice, but 250K across three years is not a great salary.
>>222541124Cate Blanchett also didn't get paid much she has said. Ian McKellen reportedly got paid the most. The highest paid actress was probably Liv Tyler
>>222540800>no residualsHe is a retard for signing that or he is just plain lying.
>>222541183I think he was talking about Sean Astin, not Orlando Bloom......
No fuck this piece of shit he was always part of the elite, he never tried to help out that little vietnamese guy in the goonies who had to become a doctor & engineer after his film career failed, when he wasnt in lotr he was still making a lot of money as a union representitive, piece of shit mother fucker bastard
>>222540800>250k for about three yearsand it's american dollars toowhat the fuck how out of touch is this idiot. bet he is struggling on that stranger things money too
>>222541207I'm white and make about 25k a year, so yeah, 83k would be life changing money. Then I could actually go on vacations, not buy everything at sales and not have to save for six months just to buy a new computer.
>>222541208>Cate Blanchett also didn't get paid muchShe's not that much in the movies honestly. I bet she still got paid more relative to the screentime.
>>222540943A main character lol. He was one of like 20 people in the ensemble cast.Also, no one knows which film will be a major hit. I remember Saoirse Ronan doing an interview before The Host and the interviewer telling her how much her life will change now that she's the star of a new major hit series like Twilight. And it bombed terribly. You can't give people more money retroactively just because the movie is successful if it wasn't written in the contract.
>>222541263You have to try to make that little money. Get a real job
>>222540800Why did he take the job then? Honestly it just sound like he's shitty with money.
>>222540800>for about three years worth of workOne. They shot all 3 films at once during an entire year.$250K for a year's work is good, especially when you're just playing make believe.
>>222540959
i am done with this shit that just because you had a good song or starred in a good movie 30 years ago you deserve a life of riches and not ever having to work againthat money was very good for the amount of work at the time i absolutely do not give a fuck about your problems now
>>222541343>>222540959What exactly is not being understood here?
>$80 autographs at cons
>>222540989poorfag mindsetenjoy your mcjob
>>222541366like when mark hamil was bitching about something and then someone posted a pic of a convention with him where he charged hundreds of dollars for a autograph and picture
>>222540989Why are you comparing the salaries of movie actors in blockbuster hits to ordinary people working 9 to 5's?>>222541001Fair point. But Elijah Wood allegedly made the same for the first film. So Hamill got paid 2x more 24 years earlier.>>222541276I don't know how you wouldn't consider the Fellowship main characters. But, yeah, the problem was since the movies were filmed back to back, most of the actors didn't get the opportunity to renegotiate their contracts for higher pay after the first one became a massive hit. Harrison Ford for example started at 10K for ANH, but was up to $500K for RotJ.
>>222541207It's triple what I make now 25 years later with a BS
>>222540800sounds like he was living beyond his means, if you have to sell your house you've fucked up seriously somewhere
How does one follow the other? Was paid X amount that one time so he had to sell his house later on. What?
>>222540800>three years worth of workthey shot all 3 films at the same time you fucking zoomer retard.
>>222540800>I don't get it.Considering how many times you've posted this thread by now that's probably the result of some intellectual handicap.
>>222541401>Why are you comparing the salaries of movie actors in blockbuster hits to ordinary people working 9 to 5's?And why are you so eagger to accept exhorbitant salaries because a movie was a hit? Is that your problem? Are you an investor? Do you lose sleep at night when a movie doesn't succeed?You guys surely are complacent when it comes to jews and their rackets. Good trained cattle.
>>222541288fuck off idiot we're all working class here
>>222540800>When [Patty] Duke became pregnant [with Sean], she was unsure whether Tell, Arnaz or actor John Astin was the father...His mother was a complete whore. Poor guy.
>>222541408>if you have to sell your house you've fucked up seriously somewheredepends on when he bought it. hes living in LA if he bought one in the early 2000s and sold it over the last few years he probably made a huge win on it
>>222541424>principal photography started in October 1999>additional filming continued until 2003That's three years, smartass. Maybe even three and a half.
>>222540996He's a jew, faggot.
>>222540898How, tho, wise financial anon?Invest in what? Even finance bros I know irl admit investments/trading is mostly guess work, gambling, or at best a 50/50. Are you just supposed to shoot your shot and hope for the best or is there some actual strategy involved beyond being lucky and already having money to spend on investments?
>>222541431Whether actors are overpaid is an entirely separate subject. Comparing the salary of someone who's part of a massively successful billion dollar film franchise to the average joe working in a cubicle is simply retarded.
>>222541442There's literally nothing wrong with sex with multiple partners.
>>222541492So Peter Jackson worked hard for years. Sean Astin wasn't in every scene and wasn't on set every day.
>>222540898Spend your money on property and be frugal with cars. A 2008 Civic will still run perfectly today and will continue to for another 30 years.
>>222541359>What exactly is not being understood here?How film contracts work.
>>222541576That's not the point of the thread. The point is that he didn't make so little that he'd have to sell his house.
>>222541431Sean Astin is a jew.
>>222540891>Now look up his early life section.>>222540996>That's what he gets for becoming a filthy prot>>222541504>He's a jew, faggot.Then why did you say to read the early life section on his wiki which states he's Episcopalian? Are you fucking retarded? Sean Patrick Astin? Patrick? FFS you are just a cunt
>>222541532>STD's>unwanted pregnancies>ruining your ability to pair bond>NOT KNOWING WHO EXACTLY IS THE FATHER OF YOUR OWN FUCKING CHILDI don't agree, rabbi.
>>222541634Kill yourself, you illiterate retard.
>>222541616>Sean Astin is a [dirty] jew.ftfy
>>222540800>Quarter of a million dollars for 3 years of workNot bad in 2001, not bad at all
>>222540800I don't really get how or why anybody could complain about a salary that they agreed to beforehand. Should have asked for more, faggot. Or maybe if you did, you wouldn't have gotten anything at all. That being said, that is a pretty comically low amount for 3 films, Sean Astin must be retarded.
>>222541665Okay but sex feels great and variety is the spice of life
>>222541060He was in the Strain which I will defend
>>222541421The tweet's missing context as most do, but apparently his mortgage payment was $250K a year. Outrageous even by today's standards, but that explains why $250K for the three films wasn't enough to cover it.
>>222541124It’s not 2014 m8
>>222541740So he was a fucking moron living in a gigantic Hollywood mansion, even when he couldn't afford it.
>>222541123>Film sets are miserable and you're there for agesThis should have a crying soijack and a greenttext about having to be in New Zealand lmao
Jews are a protected class with separate laws so they can make this rackets with illegal accounting and basically fuck everyone else.They aren't to blame though, as they just follow their nature, the real culprits are the WASPS who sold their continent for drugs and sluts.
>>222541521Well Nvidia's rise was very telegraphed and if you played PC games you knew they were a safe bet while their stock was still affordable, for example
>>222540989For a big hollywood production where you're going to basically live in a foreign country for about two years and work 12 hours a day with no predictable days off and so on and so on. Yeah 75K is fucking garbage. You can get blue collar jobs with better pay in similar conditions.
>>222541745>m8Why are you talking as if it was 2014 then?
>>222540989Are you retarded? It's about comparative pay you idiot. It's like a top tier NBA all star level player making 100k per year. Yeah, it's more than most people make but it's about 1/1,000th of his value
>>222541757Seems like it, though it's a bit confusing since it was apparently only a $655K home. I guess he went for an extremely short term loan figuring he'd be able to clear over $250K a year, but got locked into LOTR and couldn't.
>>222541521Instead of walking into a bank to store your money you walk into an Edward Jones and put it in a moderate risk mutual fund and some random stocks. Your financial advisor makes a small percentage of what you make so their goal is to make sure you make more money so they make more money. You’ll need a checking account at any normie bank to spend your money but never have a savings account at a bank.
>>222540989>Please explain to me how 75K is "bad" salary per movie?On a three billion dollar franchise + the hundreds of millions made off dvd/blu sales and then streaming? Hell it's still making money now. That money should have a small amount being peeled off for all the main actors. It's how Hollywood has always ran being it's such a hot and cold biz. Hit film and then possible years between gigs. The actors are still who carry films. So I'd rather see them get steady residuals VS what amounts to a no nothing rounding error to some media corp. A corp that even if the actors where paid fairly would still be taking in the bulk of the profits.
>>222541774rant of the day woop woop
>>222541779>If you played videogames you knew Nvidia was gonna explode in value because of a completely unrelated breakthrough to videogames>it very telegraphedYeah no.NVDA took 8 years to break out of a range and it broke out after gaming had already stagnated, soon after the crypto boom died once Ether went PoS so no, you didn't know.But feel free to prove me wrong by providing proof of any buy-ins from any financial instrument from lets say before 2019. I'll wait.
>>222540800Didn't Elijah wood get residuals? Why didn't he?
>>22254143825k a year isn't "working class", that's "part time at Walmart for minimum wage"
>>222541002more like 1 mil
Actors always want to change the contract when the movie is a hit.
>>222541997$0.01 has been placed in your Edward Jones portfolio.
>>222542062doesn't make it a lie though
>>222542198None of them did. They all signed flat rate contracts for all three films from the start.
>>22254103150k a year is what a Walmart manager makes, back then! . That's not good money.
>>222540989>Some people can't even get to 30K in a single yearhe was Samwise fucking Gamgee not stocking shelves at Walmart
>>222540800why didnt he leverage the exposure
>>222541102It should be 40% deducted if I'm not mistaken. So he nets $150,000.
>>222542314You owe $28 to your Bank Of America account for having less than $28 in your account
>>222541123>Film sets are miserableAww, poor actors!
>live for 3 years in a beautiful country with all your expenses paid for by production>get paid the equivalent of half a million in todays money today to do it>become beloved and famous>whaaa I can't liveGive me half a million for 3 years work and no expenses and even after taxes ill be catapulted 10-15 years in finance
>>222540876>No residuals is retarded.This. Why would he possibly agree to that?
>>222540800You don't have to accept the role or sign the contract. They paid him what they agreed to pay him. And he didn't take a risk, they were legally required to pay him his 250k rather the movies floped or not. They filmed those movies all at once, so it was a huge investment and risk. We know in hindsight that they were a massive success. But the studio or the actors didn't know that going in, which is why he accepted a guaranteed contract for $250k.
>>222542633The entire cast agreed to that.
>>222540800only 250k? Sam was worth more imo. hope they have him taters at least
>>222542633>$250k or >nothingnot a hard choice. actors are infitely replacable prostitutes and most of them are fully aware of it.
>>222540943fucking legolas, arrow flinger supreme, only 175k? wtf....
>>222542635>which is why he accepted a guaranteed contract for $250k.That was probably a ton of money for him too, since he hadn't really had a good role in anything since Rudy in 1993.The life of an actor is very feast-or-famine.
>>222540800Don't feel too bad. Now he's the head of the Film Actors Guild at the collapse of Hollyjew. Turns out going on strike when times are already shit doesn't help anyone. Including them.
>>222540876>No residualsit's been the norm for most of the 21st century thus far unless you're a swinging dick in the acting world
>>222541457then he wouldn't be complaining about being poor would he
>>222540800Poor financial planning and OnlyFans not being a thing at the time, so he couldn't just turn to hair fetish content.
>>222541665>using an apostrophe to pluralize somethingOpinion discarded.
>>222542909He has like 3 lines and Orlando cannot fucking act. It probably landed him the Pirates gig tho so he should consider himself very lucky.
>>222543552>career
>>222540800Now 250k makes you poor?
>>222543552>I can't live off this one tiny role I had 20 years ago>guess I will have to become a whore
>>222540800Supporting actors in billion dollar franchises make millions and are set for life. Normally you get pay raises in a franchise if it does well but they circumvented that by filming all movies at once, so the cast got shafted hard.
Plenty of proletariat would have paid their entire life savings to the movie producers in return for the opportunity to play Sam in Lord of the Rings in a film which would be shown to millions of people
>>222540800>agree to a contract>complain that you agreed to the contractincredible
>>222545800>your employer breaks union rules>hey you can't complain about that!
>>222545830>sue themwow
The pay for the actors doing LOTR was notably low. They leave out a lot of stuff though. The actors expenses were covered while in New Zealand. Meaning Sean Astin was given a place to stay and live while there. He didn't need his house back in California.
Bro if I got $250,000 in the early 2000s I would have invested some of it. This dude is a financial retard.
>>222540898It happens with directors too where you might get offered a hundred grand to direct, but overseeing the job could take 2 or 3 years to complete; so it's like you're only getting $50 or $33 grand per year, really.
>>222540943>Orlando Bloom did even worse, getting $175K for the trilogy.OK but you forget that's $175 grand in 1999/2000-era money. He could have probably bought a small house outright with that back then.
>>222540800He should blame his agent
>>222546850He got paid for the Pirates movie and also got to star in the ultimate Ridley Scott kino kingdom of heaven
>>222541002>Adjusting to 2026 purchasing power, $250,000 in 2000 is $485,000 today.I bought my first block and built a house on it for just under $200 grand AUD in 2004 and it sold at auction in late 2024 for $1.8 million AUD.
>>222546850>OK but you forget that's $175 grand in 1999/2000-era money.About 350k today.
>>222541123>Film sets are miserable and you're there for ages.It can be shit for the crew, but it's good for the actors. The actors usually get their own trailer, et cetera, so even if you're there for 16 hours per day you might be spending 12 hours on standby just sleeping or playing video games in your trailer.
He should have told the LOTR producers to take a hike and continued on with his successful career making millions per film.
Why didn't he just get a better contract? Is he stupid?
And RDJ was paid less than 1x1=2 man for Iron Man. WGAF.
>>222546850This anon is also forgetting Bloom was a no name back then. LOTR and Pirates is how he became a popular actor
>>222543552I have never signed up to an onlyfans account. I have never used one. Is it like light porn? Is it a place for people to goon out to Jessie Cave?
>>222541869You got me

Probably not even able to get by without it. They're doomed.
