One of Tom Cruise’s biggest accomplishments is Mission: Impossible, and the actor was already bringing in a large salary after the second film.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Tom Cruise returned to play Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible II in 2000 following the massive success of the first movie, and somehow, the actor earned $75 million from starring in the sequel, despite its budget of $125 million. However, there is a very reasonable explanation for Cruise's unbelievably high salary, which is rooted in negotiations that the actor made before shooting the film.
Mission: Impossible II featured Cruise's Ethan Hunt facing another impossible mission when he teamed up with Thandiwe Newton's Nyah Nordoff-Hall, a thief who helped Ethan track down a former Impossible Missions Force agent, Sean Ambrose. The sequel was a commercial success as it was the highest-grossing movie of 2000 and led to another film, Mission: Impossible III, six years later.
Why Tom Cruise Was Smart To Turn Down An Upfront Salary While negotiating his pay for Mission: Impossible II, Tom Cruise and his agent turned down an upfront salary. This meant that instead of getting a set-in-stone salary before filming the sequel, the actor made a back-end deal that ensured he would receive a percentage of the movie's box office profits for his role as both producer and Ethan Hunt.
The actor somehow had a feeling that the sequel would pull in outrageous numbers at the box office and that he should guarantee a good chunk of that money for himself. Cruise was right — Mission: Impossible II made $546 million at the box office in 2000, making it the highest-grossing film of the year. As a result, Cruise earned $75 million from starring and producing the second movie of the successful franchise.
