![]() It may be a shot in the dark, but this would mean he earned around $3,389 per minute. ![]() His salary for Everything Everywhere also remains undisclosed to the public, so for this calculation, we will assume he was paid between $100,000 and $200,000. The Vietnamese, who is now 51, once starred in The Goonies and played Short Round alongside Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones films. The other Oscar-winning star of the film, Ke Huy Quan, may be unfamiliar to many – at least as an adult. If that is the case, it means Curtis was paid roughly $29,400 per minute of being on screen. ![]() So, for Everything Everywhere, we assume (and hope) that she left with a paycheck of at least half a million dollars. Halloween legend Jamie Lee Curtis, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her performance as tax inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdre in the sci-fi comedy, is believed to have been paid $5 million each for Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends. As she is on screen a little over an hour and a half – out of 2 hours and 20 minutes for the entire film, we calculated that she must have made around $10,526 per minute. Considering she is in the lead in Everything Everywhere All at Once, her salary should have been at least twice that – or around $1 million. However, Yeoh recently starred in The Witcher: Blood Origin, and it has been reported that she was paid $70,000 per episode or roughly $420,000 for the entire season. Looking at the small budget of the production, it is safe to assume that neither of them was paid very generously. With a budget of up to $25 million, the sci-fi film which was the biggest winner this year with 7 awards and 11 nominations, managed to secure names like Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis. Indie hit Everything Everywhere All at Once stars three Academy Award Winners, but their salaries have not been made public. It should be noted that these are all rough estimations based on the actors’ reported salaries on these projects. ![]() In addition, we looked at some of the highest-grossing titles of 2022 and estimated how much their stars were paid for participating in these films. We compared these amounts with what the rest of their fellow nominees reportedly earned. Our team at TradingPedia decided to find out whether that is the case, and to actually calculate how much actors who were awarded Oscars for their performances earned per minute of screen time. The 2023 Academy Awards showed yet again that they are not about the hottest names or the biggest productions. Although moviegoers are now believed to follow franchises rather than actors, this trend still persists when it comes to certain stars. This is not a new phenomenon – it peaked sometime in the 1990s, when having a big Hollywood star in your film meant that you would get an equally big audience in cinemas. Some of Hollywood’s greatest stars are paid extraordinary amounts of money just to make an appearance of a few minutes on the screen. But do all actors earn their paychecks through hard work? Or is it just their name that is worth millions? Their job is often physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging and requires a lot of preparation and great personal sacrifices, and earning a considerable amount for months of shooting, seven days a week without a break, sometimes for 15 hours at a time, seems justified. It is no secret that actors and actresses, especially famous ones, are among the highest-paid people on the planet.
