July 21, 20222 yr Think to have been this delusional about something that others have to convince you of the truth. There is so much pain in looking at the pictures.

Yeah, imagine! Every time I show him pictures of our wedding 💒 and beach vacays, he swears he doesn't remember. Delusional. 😇

It is intense and shifts every second and you always wonder what is right and what is wrong. The truth from the lies and the hidden insane.

July 22, 20222 yr Leonardo DiCaprio Will Get Massive Payday For Scorsese's Next Movie A new report reveals Leonardo DiCaprio's massive payday for Martin Scorsese's new movie coming to Apple TV+, Killers of the Flower Moon. Leonardo DiCaprio's massive payday for Martin Scorsese's new movie Killers of the Flower Moon has been revealed. The upcoming historical drama marks the sixth collaboration between the legendary director and Oscar-winning actor, including Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, and The Wolf of Wall Street. Co-adapted by prolific screenwriter Eric Roth and based on the 2017 book of the same name, Killers of the Flower Moon will chronicle the mysterious murders of members of the Osage tribe in northeastern Oklahoma during the 1920s after vast oil deposits are discovered on their land. This prompts an investigation headed by the newly formed FBI led by 29-year-old J. Edgar Hoover. DiCaprio heads up the Killers of the Flower Moon cast as Ernest Burkhart, a key figure in the murders alongside Robert De Niro as his uncle, William Hale. Other than the two Scorsese regulars, the film also stars Jesse Plemons as former Texas Ranger Tom White, who investigates the murders, and indigenous actors Lily Gladstone and Tantoo Cardinal. Though Scorsese's upcoming film doesn't yet have a release date, a new report reveals just how much DiCaprio received for his lead role. According to Variety, the actor was paid $30 million for Killers of the Flower Moon. This is on par with what Apple paid DiCaprio's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-star Brad Pitt to lead an untitled Formula One drama from Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. However, it's a tick below the $35 million the streamer paid Will Smith to appear in the upcoming film Emancipation. Interestingly, $30 million is exactly what DiCaprio was paid for Don't Look Up, his most recent film, which released on Netflix in December. For many decades, there were standard rates for the biggest movie stars, though that has changed due to the advent of streaming. Now, companies like Apple and Netflix pay actors more initially since they'll miss out on a potential cut of the box office earnings if their film were to be released in theaters. Killers of the Flower Moon was produced on a $200 million budget, the most expensive film ever shot in Oklahoma. It would be hard to argue that 15 percent of that production budget was not well spent on DiCaprio, one of the greatest actors of his generation. Over the years, his collaborations with Scorsese have all been financially successful with the last two, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street, resulting in decent box office returns for Paramount. When Killers of the Flower Moon releases on Apple TV+, its success will instead be measured by streaming numbers and how it fares during awards season. Source
July 22, 20222 yr Inside Movie Stars’ Salaries (...) That doesn’t mean that movie stars need a bailout. The streaming wars have been very good for their bottom lines. Apple will pay Leonardo DiCaprio $30 million to reteam with Martin Scorsese on the historical drama “Killers of the Flower Moon,” as well as shell out $30 million to Brad Pitt for getting behind the wheel of a currently untitled Formula One drama from “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski and $35 million to Will Smith for appearing in the escaped-slave thriller “Emancipation.” Not to be outdone, Netflix will pony up $20 million for Chris Hemsworth and $10 million to Millie Bobby Brown to reprise their roles in the upcoming sequels to “Extraction” and “Enola Holmes.” (...) But those gaudy paydays come with caveats. Apple has included clauses in some contracts that make bonuses contingent on films coming in on time and on budget. And all of the streamers are essentially paying out the actors’ backends. That eliminates the risk that their movies will collapse at the box office, which would theoretically deprive them of all those bonuses. Yet it also puts a cap on their potential earnings if, say, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a globe-straddling phenomenon. (...) The good times may not last. There’s a nagging sense that as the country braces for recession and media companies see their stock prices plunge, stars could start to feel the pinch. After years of free spending, Netflix has signaled to investors that it is serious about maintaining its operating margins at 19% to 20%. That’s made the streamer much more selective about writing huge checks for buzzy projects. At the same time, companies like Warner Bros. Discovery are grappling with heavy debt loads and have made a commitment to slash costs. To be fair, Apple, with a market cap of $2.4 trillion, seems unlikely to be forced to belt-tighten, but at some point all this economizing will have a trickle-down effect in terms of star salaries.

I might be slow today, Friday, and all but can anyone explain this? I didn't know that Shutter Island was Paramount's too. That company seems to do something right.

Mostly actors get a certain share of the money the movies earn from being seen in the cinemas. With these movies of streaming services such as netflix and apple there is a not so wide release in cinemas and they would miss out on these earnings.
July 22, 20222 yr ^ @Mirellathis is why Tom Cruise made 100 million dollar with Top Gun 2 for example. It passed the 1 billion dollar mark at the box office beating even Titanic on the US market (and according to Tom using a streaming service was never an option). You can say about Tom Cruise whatever you want but that's quite impressive especially by considering that Top Gun 2 isn't good at all lol https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/tom-cruise-top-gun-streaming-debut/
July 22, 20222 yr Tom Cruise and Tarantino fighting the streaming. Impressive to say the least that he managed to get people back to the cinemas. He seems to have worked hard for it if he personally called theater owners to assure a theater release. With them struggling in Covid times. That makes the happening of Killers of the flower moon much more exciting. The potential. What will they do? Where will they go? I am one of them that thinks cinema is dead but maybe I am wrong here. 🙃
