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
Actors Get Like 30,000 a month and a year is like 5.8 million dollars .

she makes .5 million a yearIt depends on what movies she has done. If she is in a movie that has been a hit for century, such as Hairspray, then she would get payed a lot. It depends on what the movie is not the actor. If it was a movie that is just new, she could get payed a lot or not a lot. It also depends on how much it grossed and how much did it take to make the movie.

Every actor gets paid according to his/her experience, the amount of fame he/she has, the difficult of the movie his/her, shooting hours, and budget limits. Will Smith being a highly popular and experienced actor, can be expected to be paid around >$5Million on a full feature length movie. As i said, this sum can differ amongst different factors.
Raymond Burr was the first American actor in a Godzilla movie.
Gerard Butler probably makes a lot of money a day because he is an actor, and actor's and actress's make a lot of money, that's why there rich.
