> “Well number one was ‘Twins’ because we got no money for the salary but ownership with a piece of the back end,” Schwarzenegger said of the deal to star opposite Danny DeVito in the 1988 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman. “It was fantastic. We went all the way to the bank with that.”
> When asked if he made more than $20 million from the success of “Twins,” Schwarzenegger said his final payday was more than that. Asked if it exceeded $40 million, the actor replied: “It was more than that. It more than any movie I ever made.”
216 million gross, plus rental earnings x 40% and split three ways (reitman, Arnold and devito)…….has to be well over 40 mil
Like Nicholson and Batman.
He was a big draw in his prime
I saw twins in the theatre. I remember it being crowded
Four million dollars. Four million bucks.
Many of his comedies stunk… but not Twins!! This and Kindergarten Cop are iconic (and probably the only of his comedies worth watching)
Didn’t he get paid a shit ton for Batman & Robin?? Definitely not backend but I’m sure he got a lot upfront.
That would be over $100m today.
