Trevino Taking Kids to See Star Wars

It also stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson and Andy Serkis.

According to the report, before the movie even got underway Disney decided to make a “legacy pay scale” for actors who had previously been part of Star Wars, and a different pay scale for first-time Star Wars cast members.

The Daily Mail and Variety report that Harrison Ford reportedly made eight figures (between $10 million and $20 million) to return as Han Solo for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

According to Forbes Magazine, if The Force Awakens actually gets the sort of business some people expect it to make, the new movie could actually beat Avatar’s worldwide record of $7.2bn.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” star Harrison Ford apparently could have made the Kessel Run to the bank in 12 paychecks. “I became a big Star Wars fan, a fanatic”. That describes the tendency of many investors to buy a stock if they believe good news is coming, then to cash in their bets when the good news arrives.

It’s also a paycheck that would not have been possible if Lucas had agreed with Ford’s initial wish to have Han Solo killed at the end of Return of the Jedi, the last movie in the original trilogy.

Shares of IMAX Corp. stock dropped Monday, as did other “Star Wars” theater stocks, as the movie’s record box-office take plus upbeat analyst comments failed to generate new interest among investors.

Oh, and that’s not all the dollars Mr Ford got.

The Christmas drinks are on you, HF!
