WhenMr. & Mrs. Smithwas released, the film became Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s highest-grossing film ever. While theBullet Trainstar took home a massive paycheck of $20 million, theEternalsstar was just paid half the amount, which is $10 million, thanks to the misogynist culture in Hollywood.
Despite the film grossing over $487 million worldwide against a budget of just $110 million, Jolie was grossly underpaid. Now as the sequel series is all set and would potentially be airing soon, the original lead has thus lost massive chunks of salary. Had they not been divorced or remained amicable after their split, it might have been possible to get a sequel with both Jolie and Pitt.
While fans have expressed their disdain, neither Glover nor the Studios appear to take any notice but remain optimistic.
The originalMr. & Mrs. Smithcan be streamed on Netflix.
