Why Is The Rock Getting Paid So Much For ‘Red One’?
‘Red One’ is a massive project and a joint-venture production between Seven Bucks Productions, Amazon Studios, Amazon Prime Original Films, The Detective Agency, and Chris Morgan Productions. The movie has Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in the leading roles. So you can imagine the budget of the movie.
Moreover, negotiations about salaries started a long time back, much before Dwyane Johnson’s ‘Black Adam‘ had such a big box-office flop. So despite the fact that the Rock has not been able to give a lot of hits recently, he might have received the salary quite early.
And also the Rock is one of the most prized actors in Hollywood. With over 40 movies to his name, the Rock has made a big name for himself. He not only has an impressive career as an actor but is a well-established figure in the wrestling world as well.
