With Deadpool crossing $500 million at the global box office in less than two weeks, 20th Century Fox is sitting pretty considering the movie cost a mere $58 million to make. According to sources, star and producer Ryan Reynolds was paid $2 million upfront and is said to be the only actor eligible for box-office bonuses and backend compensation. He?s now likely to make more than $10 million from the movie and possibly much more, especially if it reaches $800 million in global sales as projected. Director Tim Miller, who made his feature debut on the project, could collect several million dollars when all is said and done. Like Reynolds, Miller stands to benefit from box-office bonuses. There?s also likely to be ?goodwill? bonuses for the film?s key players, a circle that includes writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
