What Did Jennifer Lawrence Make for The Hunger Games?
Thanks for asking: The limit does not exist! While Jennifer made "a mere" $500,000 for the first Hunger Games film, its monumental box office success basically guaranteed her a raise. And the studios delivered! Per The Hollywood Reporter, JLaw got a casual $10 million for Catching Fire and then around $20 million for each of the final two Mockingjay films. (Fun fact: Jennifer made so much from Mockingjay that Forbes named her the highest paid actress of 2016.)
What Did Jennifer Lawrence Make for X-Men?
According to BuzzFeed that would be $4.7 million. Cool cool cool.
What Did Jennifer Lawrence Make for American Hustle?
This one is a little complicated. Deadline reports that Jennifer's salary for American Hustle was $1.25 million + $250,000 in deferred compensation. Which sounds like a lot—and is!—but is just half of what her male costars Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper made ($2.5 million each).
Jennifer ended up writing an essay about this gender pay gap for Lenny Letter, writing in part, "When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. I didn’t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don’t need. (I told you it wasn’t relatable, don’t hate me)."
She added, "I would be lying if I didn’t say there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn’t want to seem 'difficult' or 'spoiled.' At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the Internet and realized every man I was working with definitely didn’t worry about being 'difficult' or 'spoiled.'"
What Did Jennifer Lawrence Make for Passengers?
JLaw's career was fully peaking (note: it's still currently peaking) by the time Passengers rolled in around 2016, and she was able to negotiate a $20 million salary—which happened to be $8 million more than her co-star Chris Pratt.
What Did Jennifer Lawrence Make for Don't Look Up?
So Jennifer was making around $15-20 million per movie in the twenty-teens (she took home $15 million for Joy, for example) but got a huge increase for Don't Look Up in 2021, which earned her $25 million.
FYI: Leonardo DiCaprio earned $30 million despite Jennifer being top-billed, but she told Vanity Fair, “Look, Leo brings in more box office than I do. I’m extremely fortunate and happy with my deal. But in other situations, what I have seen—and I’m sure other women in the workforce have seen as well—is that it’s extremely uncomfortable to inquire about equal pay. And if you do question something that appears unequal, you’re told it’s not gender disparity but they can’t tell you what exactly it is.”
What Did Jennifer Lawrence Make for No Hard Feelings?
JLaw is still commanding huge amounts of money per project, and according to The Hollywood Reporter she banked another $25 million for her latest comedy No Hard Feelings.
