Tom Cruise earns more than the studios on his movies

The star of the popular movie franchise "Mission Impossible" and many other cult Hollywood projects Tom Cruise often earns more from their films than the studios themselves. This sensational conclusion is contained in the analytical study of the publication The Hollywood Reporter.
The reason Cruise earns so much money for playing roles, is that he - one of the last Hollywood stars, which can afford to enter into so-called "contracts of the first dollar. They imply that the actor begins to receive his percentage of the box office of the film, starting from the first day of its distribution, rather than after it began to make a profit. The latter is typical of the vast majority of other celebrities of comparable caliber.
Allegedly, this is why Cruise was unhappy with Paramount Studios' decision to limit the 45-day rental window for the spy action film "Mission Impossible 7" before it begins streaming on Paramount+ streaming service. In any case, as noted in the material, Tom Cruise is one of the few American actors, any film with whose participation attracts a lot of attention from viewers across generations, so he can afford to demand appropriate compensation.
