Best Answer

The amount of money required to make a film is the primary job of the film's producer and executive producer ( if there is one ). The director's financial duties are to finish the film on time and within the financial limits set by the producer. In some situations, the director may believe he needs to go over budget in order to complete the job. In these cases the director must obtain the permission of the producer.

ANSWER: It completely depends on the Director, the Deal that has been worked out for him with the project and the type of production. (Blockbuster movie, a B-movie, Independent, etc.)

Making a B-Movie? if it is your first, then most likely $14,000

Making an Independent movie? Most likely $14,000 to $0

Making a blockbuster? Possibly $75,000 to start on writing it and another $60,000 if you direct it.

A majority of it depends on the Director... Is he a brand name in himself? Meaning is there an audience that is already built around the movies he/ or she makes?

Additionally, in negotiations a Director may get a percentage of the GROSS or NET gain from the movie. Gross is how much the movie makes... and Net is how much the movie makes - minus all the upfront costs to make it and sell it (advertise).

According to the government's data on careers the average Director in California makes an average $26,000 a year to $28,000. This includes all of the above and porn directors.

Do directors make more money than producers or actors on 1 movie?

It varies a lot depending on the director and depending on the actors. Most directors will be paid more than the actors who are in their movies, but if the actor is a "big name" or a lead, they may be paid more than the director. Furthermore, directors (and sometimes actors) often receive money based on how much a movie makes at the box office, so their exact final amount received will depend on how popular their movie is. Contracts for "star" directors and actors are very complicated.
