F1 is right here, and with the weekend field workplace numbers beginning to are available, it’s trying like Brad Pitt has a giant hit on his fingers. However, is anybody else interested by how a lot a giant film star like him makes lately for main one of many greatest films of 2025 and the way it ranks with different names of his caliber like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio?
Nicely, we now know the reported amount of cash Pitt made, and I’ve to say, I am shocked.
How A lot Brad Pitt Is Incomes For F1?
In response to Forbes, Brad Pitt reportedly earned $30 million to play Sonny Hayes, the previous System One driver who will get again behind the wheel after hanging up the game within the Nineteen Nineties.
He’s come a great distance since reportedly making $6,000 on Thelma & Louise within the early Nineteen Nineties when he was first getting his begin. $30 million is a big sum. Like, some films value that a lot in whole – for instance, M3GAN 2.0, which simply debuted in theaters too, reportedly had a manufacturing price range of $25 million by itself. To say I’m astonished is an understatement.
However, on the similar time, Brad Pitt does really feel like a type of few actors who can herald an enormous viewers simply because he’s headlining a film. Oh, and the movie’s price range is allegedly between $200 and $300 million, so Apple actually splurged on this one generally.
It goes to indicate that Brad Pitt’s pull within the business remains to be a large one. Although I’m curious if the film star additionally requested to get a reduce of the backend cash in his contract from field workplace gross sales because the film races to a reported $140 million international opening weekend, per Deadline. This is able to be the one to do it for, since he and all his very actual System One driving is the film’s massive pull — particularly for moviegoers who usually are not already System One followers.

He was positioned at No. 6 behind Dwayne Johnson’s high spot, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld and Hugh Jackman.
The massive paycheck he needed to his title then was for Wolfs with George Clooney, the place they had been every paid $35 million earlier than the Apple film grew to become the most-watched title within the streaming service’s historical past. (So F1 allegedly isn’t even probably the most he’s been paid for a movie!)
On the subject of different actors of a uncommon related standing to Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio was apparently paid $30 million as properly to star in Apple’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Tom Cruise reportedly had an upfront wage of $13 million for Prime Gun: Maverick earlier than in the end making $100 million in whole after additionally incomes cash on the backend from ticket gross sales.
