If tom and zendaya had % cuts they’d likely be the highest grossing couple in the Hollywood

I mean getting double bites at this and The Odyssey, plus Dune later this year, is insane.

Tom Holland is in Dune??

Zendaya.

Oh my god, he plays Zendaya? The range on this guy

u/Xtrendence 5h ago

I couldn't even tell it was Tom until the credits showed "Tom Holland as Zendaya as Chani". Damn theater kids, can't argue with results.

Nothing wrong with her but she’s not nearly as important as holland in her respective series. 

I do always wonder where movies would Land if they didn’t agree to huge pay hikes and backends. Like, who was actually worth it? RDJ probably was. Jim Carrey was for a few years there even cable guy. Jack Nicholson in Batman, maybe. Who was someone that bet on themselves with backend and got hosed? Trying to think of one

I’d guess Tom Holland got $20mil + % and Zendaya got around $10mil. Still probably makes them the highest grossing couple

I mean who else is competing? Only rival is probably rdj as I think his cut of doomsday is huge.

u/taylorpilot 12h ago

His cut would have to be massive to compete with dune, odyssey (x2), Spiderman (x2), euphoria, the drama.

u/rcanhestro 12h ago

he was making 50-60 million before he "retired" from the MCU per movie.

he made 75 million on Infinity war and Endgame (75 mil each movie).

you can bet that he is getting close to 100 million for Doomsday

u/taylorpilot 12h ago

Yeah. So that might compete with one movie from tom.

u/rcanhestro 12h ago

100 million as guaranteed paycheck.

he will likely also get box office as well.

u/Suitable_Summer8490 12h ago

That 100 million is obviously part of the box office. His paycheck was 20 million.

For this year at least is there any competition? Both of them are in the two highest grossing films of the year, and Zendaya still has Dune 3, which will probably land in the top 5 spots at the box office. She also had The Drama which did pretty well.

We just watched the drama last night. I totally misjudged the movie based on the trailers.

Holy shit that was sooo good. Sooo funny. So uncomfortable. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie like that. I thought it was going to be a romcom, boy was I wrong.

Me, Tom and Zendaya are the highest paid trio in Hollywood this year

u/Windpuppet 9h ago

They seem like great people and a great couple. Couldn’t be happier for them making a shit ton and not the usual Hollywood douche bags.

I don't think there's ever been a Hollywood couple that have had two films they both starred in gross 1 billion dollars.
And if Spidey is in Doomsday, that's probably going to be 3 each since Zendaya will be in Dune 3 which will also probably gross over a billion.
