Courteney Fucking Cox is in the top 10? How much was she paid for the Scream movies?

Neve Campbell?!

What a complete waste of time and energy.

I didn't know people with Autism could be gay.

This is so dumb. Talk about being obscenely overpaid. Nicole Kidman does a lot of those weird low budget movies. Surely, they can't afford to pay her something ridiculous like this. Is she the only one who gets paid on the film?

R7 obviously she’s willing to take a pay cut to do those smaller films. That’s different.

by Anonymousreply 8August 4, 2020 1:11 AM

R4 $1 million for the first, $5 million for the second, and $7 million each for 3 and 4.

She also was paid $7.1 million for 3000 miles to Graceland, which she’s barely in.

Courteney Cox also was paid $1 million per episode for the final 2 seasons of FRIENDS and $100k an episode for Cougartown at first and then they bumped her pay to $250k an episode

R10, after Trump she has to be the most overpaid celebrity of all time.

by Anonymousreply 11August 4, 2020 1:15 AM

(R5) I agree. Neve Campbell? Does she even work anymore? I only know her from the scream movies and party of five. Really weird.

by Anonymousreply 12August 4, 2020 1:18 AM

Neve was in that Kevin Spacey series and is on something else now.

She was also in that Rock movie a year or two ago, playing his wife.

There's a higher rate of autism among gay men than straight men, so.... you're pretty ignorant,

People pay J Lo to speak? What a world we live in.

As many movies as our Meryl has done, she's not even in the top 20?

r14 It's called HUMOR, dumbass.

Jesus christ, the idiots who populate this place nowadays, make me crazy.
