Funny/sad thing is, if they do rectify this we'll likely never find out if Pine accepted a lesser fee or if Paramount ponied up what they initially promised.

Star Trek 4 Hits A Snag
- Thread starter Doc Mugatu
- Start date
Yeah that'll never happen. I gather from interviews I've watched that Pine is big on avoiding social media etc. I don't blame him a bit.
Have no fear, someone from Paramount will leak the outcome.
I'm sure Midnight's Edge will have the scoop!
Isn't there a variety of different ways they could structure a renegotiated deal? They could set it up so he would actually get more than the original deal if the movie performs well at the box office.
I'm not sure if this violates union rules, but I would think they could offer him a percentage of revenue or a bonus if the box proceeds reach a certain amount.
Say for example his original fee is 8M. Paramount could offer him 4M and put a stipulation in the deal that if the box office surpasses 450M+ he'll get a bonus of 5M bringing his total payout to 9M.
I would think they'd be able to come to some sort of agreement.

That is definitely a done thing and was done for Star Trek Into Darkness according to imdb
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1517976/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm#salary
Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) $1,500,000 w/ $500,000 bonus if profitable
all this could've been avoided had they made 500m with Orcis Shatner anniversary movie
A movie starring William Shatner would not have made 500m in 2016. No chance.
I agree. His time has long passed.
Paramount figured the same.. so we got Beyond
Which is one of the top 5 trek films ever made.
Financially underperformed yes, but a great trek movie.
Oh your serious okay never mind me.
I know I was just poking fun.
Some people like it. I get that. Myself on the other hand can only watch it if I'm doing something else because I think it's so boring. I can't decide if it falls above or below the Final Frontier on my list competing for bottom spot. Probably below at the moment because if someone gave me a choice to watch either of those right now, it wouldn't be Beyond.

The absolute opposite of my rankings. TFF is largely an embarrassment to me. In fact I'm more than happy with the fan theory that the whole thing is a dream kirk had round the campfire.
I think I'm going to go give my Beyond and TFF media a hug.
Exactly...
A dream because Spock knocked him out to shut him up.
Does anyone know what the actual dollar figure amount is on Pine's contract with Paramount?
He went from making 1.5-2M on STID to 6M on Beyond. That's a big jump.
I like Pine as an actor, but I don't think he's worth a huge dollar amount. People don't come to the theater to see him. Same with Hemsworth. Outside of franchise work nothing these guys are in performs all that well financially.

I like it better than any TNG or Kelvin film.
