It’s unclear whether this number is accurate, but it is in line with the other reporting we have seen.Īfter taking a look at these numbers, it makes sense that Cruise was the seventh highest-paid actor in 2017 despite only starring in two films, neither of which were hits. Indeed, Statistic Brain lists his salary for Fallout as $28 million, a bit higher than his reported $25 million salary for Rogue Nation.

The Hollywood Reporter later reported that these financial issues had been dealt with and the movie would be moving forward. After all, back in 2016, Deadline reported that the sixth installment in the franchise had stalled due to a salary dispute with Cruise. Just as Cruise reportedly got a raise for Rogue Nation, it also seems he got another one for Fallout. In 2010, Cruise’s representatives confirmed to New York Magazine that he had agreed to take a pay cut for Ghost Protocol, with his salary being described as “a substantially reduced upfront payment relative to his previous outings with the M:I films.” So although it’s unclear what his upfront salary was for the first three films, it seems it was a lot more than $12 million. This seems to have been a significant raise after Ghost Protocol according to that same source, Cruise’s upfront salary for Ghost Protocol was $12 million. This same report says that Cruise earned $75 million off the second and third films and $70 million off the fourth one, Ghost Protocol.įor the fifth film in the series, Rogue Nation, Cruise reportedly got paid $25 million up front, with this not including his back-end deal. That’s pretty incredible, especially when you consider the fact that the movie’s entire budget was $80 million. With his upfront salary and great back-end deal, Cruise reportedly made $70 million off the first Mission: Impossible film, released in 1996. So what, exactly, does Cruise get paid for these films? Just how hefty is his salary?Īs you would expect, it’s quite a lot, although he makes much of his money off the back end rather than in advance this means that Cruise gets a flat fee up front, which is already huge, but he also makes money based on how well the film ends up performing. Mission: Impossible 5 is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2015.Tom Cruise truly gives everything he has to the Mission: Impossible films, putting his life in danger by performing death-defying stunts and, in the case of this last film, actually breaking his ankle during one scene. Cruise is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, and the Mission: Impossible series is a rare modern franchise that would be absolutely nothing without its main star. Nothing much is known about the film but filming locations include Vienna, Austria and Rabat, Morocco. The film will also star returning actors Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames, while newcomers Alec Baldwin and Rebecca Ferguson have also joined the cast.

Mission: Impossible 5 is being directed by Christopher McQuarrie with a script written by Drew Pearce, and is being produced by Bad Robot, Skydance, and Cruise/Wagner Productions and will be distributed by Paramount pictures. He has also been known to practice method acting. Sean Harris might just be added to the list of Brits to be part of the villains of Hollywood, and by just the way he looks alone, he does have an intimidating aura around him and the same goes for his intense face. It has become quite noticeable that Hollywood has had an obsession with having British villains, like in Star Strek Into Darkness where Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed the Khan Noonien Singh and in Marvel's cinematic Universe where Tom Hiddleston plays the god of mischief, Loki. Sean Harris' most notable works include The Borgias, 24 Hour Party, the Red Riding Trilogy, and Ridley Scott's Prometheus where he played crew member Fifield.
