Stars get paid a lot more for streaming titles because they’re basically buying out their backend, since cut of gross isn’t an option. {nm}

DL: THE ADAM PROJECT had 92.4 million views this weekend, the third best launch for a film behind Red Notice & Don't Look Up. notfabio Mar 15, 15:07

What was the reported budget for The Adam Project? Can't be as high as Red Notice, right? {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 15, 16:36

Don't think Netflix has disclosed, but wouldn't be super surprised by $80-100 (less than half RED NOTICE) {nm} notfabio Mar 15, 16:41

Assuming of course that unlike Red Notice, the stars weren't paid obnoxious salaries. {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 15, 17:59

Ryan Reynolds got around 20 each for Red Notice & Six Underground, Garner and Ruffalo I'd guess around 3-5 each. {nm} notfabio Mar 15, 18:05

Zoe Saldana I'd guess around that range too. {nm} notfabio Mar 15, 18:06

Assuming of course that unlike Red Notice, the stars weren't paid obnoxious salaries. {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 15, 17:59

How did I double reply? {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 15, 18:00

I've seen it happening now and then with posters {nm} tealfan Mar 15, 18:39

As the king of this, usually it's my fault, click happy, bad internet connection and hitting post twice. {nm} notfabio Mar 15, 18:54

In that regard, I think I can blame a slowly malfunctioning mouse on my end. {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 15, 19:08

this is smartest reply about backend and salary in hsx's recent history {nm} Moviesnob Mar 15, 21:45

Problem is streaming services can't sustain paying that kind of money to stars. {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 16, 07:45

Netflix feels they can make a number of films each year at the $100m level. Amazon and Apple can do even more {nm} Moviesnob Mar 16, 08:52

100M I don't think would be too much of a problem. The problem is continuing to make films that cost 200M. Jay_Beezy Mar 16, 09:36

They'll need a handful of those a year. A listers need to get their backend and residuals upfront and they know what movies have made in the Moviesnob Mar 16, 11:42

A-listers don’t *literally* need that backend if they’re upfront paycheck is already significant. Jay_Beezy Mar 16, 21:25

I'm thinking these are just TV movies, and my guess is they basically suck. {nm} Goodvibe61 Mar 16, 00:11
