anywhere between 14,000-100,000,000

No, they have to pay an actor before the film even gets to the movie theater. And there is no way of predicting if the film will do well. It takes about two years or more from writing the screenplay to selling the screenplay to pre-production to production to post-production to release. Some films never make it to release, either.

That said, they hire big name stars to play the lead, hoping the name will bring in the audience to help the film make several million at the box office!

If you're asking about motion pictures that have big production companies, i.e. Universal, Tri-Star, Dreamworks -- to name a few; behind them. Then, the money runs like this.

CELEBRITY ACTOR: $25,000,000 (twenty-five million)

CELEBRITY ACTRESS: $20,000,000 (twenty million)

LEAD ACTOR/ACTRESS (non-famous): $30,000 to $500,000

CO-STAR (non-famous): $20,000 - $500,000

SAG [Screen Actors Guild] BACKGROUND [Extra] ACTORs: $100 PER DAY

NON-SAG BACKGROUND ACTORs: $50.00 - $100 PER DAY
