10 Insane Acting Salaries For Upcoming Movies
7. Robert Downey Jr. - $20 Million - The Voyage Of Doctor Dolittle
Robert Downey Jr. has been huge in Hollywood for some time now. Even before he became Iron Man in 2008, Robert Downey Jr. had a solid career, before his stint in prison.
Since his superhero en-devours as the charming Tony Stark, Downey has been high in demand and more high-profile than ever. Having Robert Downey Jr. in your movie would immediately sell it to a huge audience of fans and make million in return. So that might explain the massive payout of $20 million that Downey is getting for playing the titular Doctor Dolittle in The Voyage Of Doctor Dolittle.
With his Marvel Studios contract ending this year, Downey has been snapped up quickly by many studios, but clearly he doesn't come cheap. The Voyage Of Doctor Dolittle has reportedly had 3 weeks of re-shoots recently upon negative reactions to early screenings. Even if the movie doesn'ty turn out perfect, Downey's performance will no doubt be incredible and will the reason millions of people go to see it.
