That's right @bettersteps, there are some real surprises I encounter when doing research, and when something is as weird as this, I double-check before publishing the video.
He actually signed a percentage take on royalties for the long term success, he was paid nothing until the first box office ticket was sold. Twins was a huge success that is the reason he continues to makes millions from it.
Terminator Dark Fate was not a Super Hit. It was a Box Office Bomb. In fact it was one of the biggest Box Office Bomb of all time. The studios lost around $122,000,000.00. Definitely not a Super Hit. For that flop Arnold got paid around $20,000,000.00 not $13M.
Nice...when its pure Action its a win, when Arnold make good acting the Movie flops. Seems like quiet Movies with great performance (Maggie, Aftermath) is not what Arnoldfans want to see.
It's heartwarming to see that people enjoy my work; thank you so much for sharing your feedback-it keeps me going. Rest assured, I'll unearth the paychecks of that axe-swinging genius, even if I have to climb up to the Cuckoo's Nest to do it.
Great question, @gustaaf1892! He was only in supporting roles, or even just a cameo in the first one. Plus, with so many stars involved, the paychecks got spread pretty thin!
Good question, @robertmicheaux3905. I left 'Pumping Iron' out of the video because it's a documentary. Maybe that was a bad decision, since 'Pumping Iron' played a significant role in boosting his fame and establishing his career. He earned $50k from it.
Now that's a very useful comment, thank you @RalphVB! I'm in the process of figuring out myself and my channel, so ALL feedback is much appreciated! I'm ready to change my voice if that's the wish of my audience. 😉 Let's see what happens.
Thank you, @monikaw1179! It means a lot to get some feedback, and I take it seriously, so I decided to change my voice. Check out my latest video and let me know what you think. 😉
When you are rich more money isnt a thing. Arnold made no films bec the money. He searched for new things to do like politics, books, to be only an (good payed) Actor wont fulfill him.
Red Sonja, Commando, Raw Deal. . .terrible movies. But other than those a pretty solid career. True Lies one of the best movies period. Much like Tom Cruise you know what you’re gonna get. I miss the action star days of the 80’s and 90’s.
Thank you for pointing this out @noelht1. He got only $75k for the first Terminator because it was a relatively low-budget film, and he wasn't a huge star yet. He took the role for the career boost, which ended up paying off big time.
Arnold is a legend
Running man and total recall are my 2 favorite
Please make one for DiCaprio
He has it coming, @TripleMachine! He's too big of a star for me to ignore 😉
I've seen every Arnold movie except Junior. I just could not wrap my head around the concept.
It's definitely a weird one, @eddier8576. I'm not a big fan of Junior, but it has its moments.
Arnold gets $75k for the first Terminator and $37m for Twins?

Backend deal? He took a percentage of the take. No way they paid him 37 million upfront
@@noelht1 Does it matter? It's still $37,000,000.00.
That's right@@noelht1! Backend deals often bring in more money than upfront payments, especially if the movie becomes a hit.

He was already a millionaire through realestate investments before movies.
So he likes to tell people. Whether or not it is true remains to be seen
wrong
No
How do you know hmo?
🤣 The Expandables... Only mispelt once but that was hilarious. I don't think they'll be very flattered.
Thanks for spotting that, @FrancisXLord! I'm more careful with spelling now...

You forgot "around the world in 80 days" - 2004.
Arnold took longer to lift off the top pay launchpad than his pal Sly but it eventually worked out in the late 80s.
These are fun videos great job , Should dive into Jack Nicholson movies paychecks sometime !

@@BoxOfficeJoe Thank you and your welcome !
@@kellywilson8440 Update: Jack Nicholson's paychecks reveal is now live: th-cam.com/video/AkSMzLx2Ozo/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy!
@@BoxOfficeJoe Awesome one my way to check it out , Thank you !
Batman and Robin was a big flop.
The movie was terrible but it made money
From $2,000 to $45,000,000 in T2
Did you voice the records for the new English file course books ?
Even after taxes he’s doing pretty well. Lots of money left to invest and become even richer.
Why did his pay go down so much for the three Expendables movies?
Great question, @gustaaf1892! He was only in supporting roles, or even just a cameo in the first one. Plus, with so many stars involved, the paychecks got spread pretty thin!
the 3 big actors Brad Pitt, Leonardo, & George Clooney.
Big names, @roddizon2242! I'll enjoy researching them! 😉
What did he make off of pumping iron?

@@BoxOfficeJoe You miss "The long goodbye, Scavengers Hunt, Jayne Mansfield Story". problem is that things who made for TV cant judge as a box office.
Dude did you change your voice or what?
Not a bad video. Would say that the AI voice really isn't clicking for me

@@BoxOfficeJoe I agree. Interesting content but the AI voice is likely to send your channel into obscurity.
Thank you, @monikaw1179! It means a lot to get some feedback, and I take it seriously, so I decided to change my voice. Check out my latest video and let me know what you think. 😉
@@BoxOfficeJoe yes, it's much better. What about using your own voice?
Did some tests @@monikaw1179 and I don't really like the outcome. I may circle back to it down the line.
He wasted time being the Governator. He should have stuck to making films and more money.
When you are rich more money isnt a thing. Arnold made no films bec the money. He searched for new things to do like politics, books, to be only an (good payed) Actor wont fulfill him.
@@drhkleinert8241 Well paid^
Is this adjusted for inflation?
Thank you for the question @overtonpendulum2071! These figures are from back then and have not been adjusted for inflation.
Typos in the movie names. The expAndables 3 ? Collateral dEmage ??
My bad! Thank you for spotting these @francoisleveille409! I shall take extra caution going forward.
Jim Carey please
Great pick @darwinarceo5727 - added to the work queue 😉
Tom Cruise
Awesome pick @rickhaun! His figures are astonishing, I'll reveal them soon! Stay tuned!
Mission accomplished @rickhaun! Tom Cruise's paychecks revealed: th-cam.com/video/m1FxgqX_xK4/w-d-xo.html
I thought he got the biggest paycheck in Twins
Didn’t he earn over 60M from Kindergarten Cop because he received a percentage from the backend?
I expected more...
How much is that after taxes.
I love twiins but calling it a blockbuster??? Ha!
Red Sonja, Commando, Raw Deal. . .terrible movies. But other than those a pretty solid career. True Lies one of the best movies period. Much like Tom Cruise you know what you’re gonna get. I miss the action star days of the 80’s and 90’s.
Only morons say period.
Only 75K for the terminator? Sure it was a springboard for him, but he got absolutely fucked by Cameron!
