FAQ:

1. Are these figures adjusted to inflation.
NO

2. Every single movie he ever made is included?
Not exactly. Only theatrical movies are presented here. So TV movies, Direct to Video releases, TV Series, Mini Series and Shorts are NOT included! Movies where he had a very minor role or a cameo might not be discussed in this video. Little-known movies and smaller projects may also be excluded in order to keep the video entertaining.

3. How can an actor/director earn MORE than the budget of the movie?
This phenomenon is called a 'backend deal,' which means the actor receives a portion of the film’s long-term earnings in addition to their upfront salary. These earnings can come from box office revenue, streaming, DVD, and Blu-ray sales, among other sources. Such deals can significantly boost the actor's total earnings, sometimes exceeding the film's entire budget.

4. A movie with a $100M budget making $100M at the box office is hardly a 'Break Even,' right? Studios share the box office income with theaters, and there are other expenses too.
That's correct! However, I chose this simplified approach because movies continue generating revenue after their theatrical run—through home media, streaming, and other channels. These additional earnings usually follow the box office trend (Hit or Flop) and can reinforce or even improve the labels I give these movies in my video.
