New York, May 2 (EFE) .- The actors Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson ("The Rock") and Robert Downey Jr. have this year the highest salaries in the film industry thanks to their new projects, according to the magazine Variety, which highlights the impact of the Netflix "streaming" platform on the profits of the stars.
Reynolds wins in this field by a landslide, since it will take 27 million dollars to star in the Netflix film "Six Underground," directed by Michael Bay, which is about a vigilante group financed by millionaires and has not yet released date.
In the second place on the list are "La Roca" and Downey Jr., who will be pocketed 20 million dollars each: the first for the new installment of the franchise "Fast & Furious", which reaches the big screen in EE .US. this August, and the second for "The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle", scheduled for January 2020.
The next is Will Smith, with 17 million dollars for "Bad Boys for Life" (January 2020), although the magazine says that "probably will get 35 million Netflix in exchange for retaking his role of witty police in 'Bright 2' "
The intrepid Jason Statham, another of the stars of "Fast & Furious", will not earn as much as his partner "The Rock" but still placed in the ranking of the highest salaries with 13 million dollars, a figure in the range of what Tom Cruise will charge for "Top Gun: Maverick" (June 2020), between 12 and 14 million.
It's a salary similar to what Variety calculates for the first actress on the list, Emily Blunt, who will take the second installment of her "thriller" "A Quiet Place" to theaters in May 2020 for about 12 or 13 million dollars, practically half that of the highest paid actors.
Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, the protagonists of the new Quentin Tarantino, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", will get a check of 10 million each for what promises to be a blockbuster this summer, and the same will charge the actress Gal Gadot for "Wonder Woman 1984", premiered in June 2020.
"Although Gal Gadot was paid a pittance to create the role of Wonder Woman in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' in 2016, will get a heroic 10 million to wear the iconic bracelets" of the new delivery, the publication adds.
Variety estimates that Margot Robbie could charge between 9 and 10 million dollars for "Birds of Prey", and also points out that being the producer of the same film that she plays contributes to "achieving more enriching agreements".
Integran los últimos puestos de la lista, Idris Elba ("Fast & Furious") y Ben Affleck ("Triple Frontier"), con 8 millones; Kristen Stewart ("Charlie's Angels"), 7 millones; Martin Lawrence ("Bad Boys for Life"), 6 millones; Joaquin Phoenix ("Joker"), 4,5 millones, y Jessica Chastain ("It: Chapter 2"), 2,5 millones.
Regarding the role of Netflix, the magazine claims that it is "reinforcing the remunerations of the most famous actors in the business at a time when the studios are becoming flagrantly sparse when signing generous checks."
However, the stars do not increase their profits with the success of a film on that platform, since there is not a wide distribution in movie theaters and the income comes mainly from subscriptions. "Reflecting that reality, Netflix salaries tend to be larger," he concludes.
