Johnny Depp To Make An Enormously Grotesque Amount Of Money For Pirates 4
By George 'El Guapo' Roush on October 7, 2008

According to the
Dailymail:
Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp will pick up a staggering £32million for starring in a fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean film.
And it's the highest up-front pay-cheque in showbiz history.
The huge pay-day eclipses Tom Hanks' £29million salary for DaVinci Code follow-up Angels And Demons. If you use a currency exchange from British Pounds to American Dollars that's:
32,000,000.00 GBP | = | 56,007,456.98 USD |
| United Kingdom Pounds | | United States Dollars |
| 1 GBP = 1.75023 USD | | 1 USD = 0.571352 GBP |
or
32,000,000.00 GBP | = | SHITLOAD USD |
| United Kingdom Pounds | | United States Dollars |
| 1 GBP = 1.75023 USD | | 1 USD = 0.571352 GBP |
$56 million fucking dollars to play a pirate. I mean, the guy and his great great great great grandkids are set for life, he's getting $56 million for one film? I'm currently in Vegas and I'm pissed that my ATM withdrawal limit is $300 a day. Now I just want to get to the top of the Stratosphere and jump off.

I'd rather see him get it for his real talents than a corporate CEO for the lack of talent.

Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise didn't get upfront salaries on those ones. They took a cut of the box office gross, merchandising and stuff like that. Most of the money they made on those movies was made after the movies were released. Johnny Depp is making 56 million UPFRONT, which is a staggering amount of money.

You know Jack Nicholson made 80million on Batman, and Tom Cruise made 100million on war of the worlds, right? Didn't Bruce Willis just get paid 30million for Die Hard 4? And those films combined didn't come close to what Pirates has earned. Depp carried those giant films... and despite their spectacle, he's a big reason to thank for their success.
Permalinkthink about it though, the first three has made disney welllllll over a billion dollars. in large part because of him as the star and how well he acts. so with that said doesn't he warrant such a salary?
PermalinkJohnny Depp, you should just buy yourself one of the US states...some might be for sale since the fucking economy is sucking old sagging balls...
