Tom Cruise is raking in $12-14 million for Mission Impossible 7.
Mission Impossible is undoubtedly one of the biggest franchise in Hollywood and one of the biggest contributing factors for this success is the lead actor for the series, Tom Cruise. The Mission Impossible franchise has been raking in big bucks since the very first film and so as Tom Cruise. But many wonder how much his salary would be per movie, given the stature of the actor. Interestingly, Cruise’s salary has reportedly been revealed for Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1.
Tom Cruise’s Salary was $12-14 Million for Mission Impossible 7
Variety’s latest report on actor’s salaries reveals that Tom Cruise had a salary in the “$12 million to $14 million range” for Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1. However, he will be earning a lot more than that amount as he also earns a “percentage of the movies’ first-dollar gross” and it is estimated that Cruise would be bringing home a sum of $100 million or more from ticket sales.
A studio executive has also stated that he would “never bet against Tom Cruise” as most actors do not justify their salaries. He adds that actors like Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson justify their salaries as they are great at promoting their movies. I guess this is what makes Tom Cruise one of the highest earning actors in the industry.
