How much money will you make if you do a movie?

Answer 1

Your answer depends on what role you play in making the film.

If you are part of the crew, you'll earn what the union wage is for that crew position, per week. There are unions for actors, directors, sound people, photographers, and so forth.

If you are a free-lance worker on the film, you'll earn whatever the production company pays you for your services. Roles might be location scout, driver, set dresser and so forth.

If you are a producer and finance the film, you may be able to make millions, depending on how much more you earn from ticket sales, cable rights, DVD sales and so forth, more than you spent financing the movie.
