Julia Roberts was paid $3mn for Mother’s Day and she worked for 4 days!
Mother’s Day opened with a disappointing $8.3 million over the weekend.
Now that’s a way to make some quick cash. But hey! it works only if you are Julia Roberts. The actor earned $3 million for her supporting role in romantic comedy film Mother’s Day that required her to shoot for only four days.
That means her rate -- of $750,000 a day -- puts her among the top-earning female actors in Hollywood. But it’s nowhere near the record (for a woman) $20 million she received at the peak of her career for the 2000 film Erin Brockovich, reports variety.com.
Mother’s Day opened with a disappointing $8.3 million over the weekend. It’s a reminder that Roberts’ days as an A-list star who could carry a movie on her own could be over -- as evidenced by other recent misfires like The Secrets in Their Eyes and Mirror Mirror.
The ticket sales of the film were hurt by terrible reviews.
