>> It depends on how much the movie makes. Most movies make 1 to 2 billion dollars,

>> so an actor probably makes $900,000 to 1 million dollars maybe more.

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 .

It depends on wich role they play in the movie if they are a main character i could imagine it might be a large sum but if the person is only part of the movie a minute or two it might be a small sum

That depends on the actress and how famous she is. Actresses like Reese Witherspoon and Angelina Jolie have been paid $15-20 million for one movie.
