news culture Fast X: Vin Diesel hits the million dollar jackpot
Vin Diesel gets a very nice sum for Fast X.
The tenth part of Fast & Furious should pay Vin Diesel well … even if it seems to be a seal of approval below what we could have imagined for a tenth film …
340 million budget … without marketing!
According to their sources, Variety just released Fast X’s numbers. Louis Leterrier’s film would have cost $340 million to producethat’s $140 million more than Fast & Furious 9. Notice that That budget doesn’t even include advertising by Fast To explain such an increase in costs, we can mention more numerous, more modern and therefore more expensive special effects, but also an increase in costs linked to the pandemic. Is that it? Filming locations, hygiene measures, technician salaries … everything was more expensive and delayed, during and after this period. Some technical teams were paid to “do nothing”, waiting for the others to finish certain scenes, sometimes without a director… It did all of that cost astronomical sums to production. But we can’t A large part of the budget must not be neglected either: the remuneration of the actors and actresses.
In the casting payroll budget, every fifth dollar goes into Vin Diesel’s pocket
According to Variety, of the $340 million that Fast X cost 100 million are reserved exclusively for star fees the cast. With names like Jason Momoa, Brie Larson, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Michelle Rodriguez, and John Cenathe budget could only be fabulous and that’s without counting Dwayne Johnson – who was the highest paid actor in Hollywood for several years – and GalGadotwho content themselves with small appearances in this work of the saga. But the one who should make the most of it is Vin Diesel with a salary of 20 million dollars for this film.
20 million is a lot… but not that much compared to the competition
$20 million is a huge sum, though If you compare it to other famous actors, it doesn’t even seem that high. Accordingly ScreenRantthis is for example what touched Chris Hemsworth for Tyler Rake 2, a film produced by and for Netflix. for me too Tom Hardy in Venom 3 or Joaquin Phoenix in Joker 2. Well, these three cases are what we are talking about Say fewer installs than Fast & Furious ! The franchise is already twenty years old has grossed over $7 billion in eleven films (ten feature films and the Hobbs & Shaw spin-off) and Vin Diesel is the headliner. We therefore assume that he certainly had to “waive” a higher fee due to the large number of other stars, existing in the franchise and new, who join this work. But rest assured, Vin Diesel should be fine: As a producer of the saga and this opus, he is sure to reap major repercussions financially while Fast X has already grossed 520 million Dollars at the box office and will continue to generate revenue for the coming weeks. So don’t panic Fast & Furious 11 should also have a fairly substantial budget !
Fast X is now available in cinemas in France.
