Guess HOW MUCH Harrison Ford made from Star Wars: The Force Awakens? It's a LOT...

HARRISON FORD was paid 76 TIMES MORE than his Star Wars: The Force Awakens co-stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.

 

Harrison Ford may be the oldest star in Star Wars, but his pay packet is light years ahead of the rest.

At the grand old age of 73, he made 76 times more than his young co-stars and 23 times more than Carrie Fisher.

 

The actor also known as Han Solo is set to waltz away with a cool £23million.

That's an unbelievable 3,286 time MORE than the £7,000 he picked up back in 1977 for the original Star Wars film.

 

Chewwie, we're home – and we're rich!

 

Ridley and Boyega "only" made £300,000 for the film

 

His basic (or mind-boggling by our standards) wage for the new film was £16.7million but the Force is strong in his contract, which guarantees him huge add-on bonuses.

Ford has a clause in his contract which gives him a 1/2 percent share of the film's gross earnings.

With The Force Awakens on target to be one of (if not THE) biggest films of all time, this is likely to add up to a cool extra £6.5million if it reaches $1.3billion (£870million) worldwide.

It's safe to say that the first incredible figures from the global box office are making this look pretty likely.

  

Don't cry, Carrie Fisher, you still made a pretty packet from the film...

           

 

The latest Star Wars epic smashed every box office record in its triumphant opening weekend, taking $529million (£355million) worldwide.

This rockets it past all the previous records set by Jurassic World, which ended its run on a jaw-dropping $1.67billion (£1.12billion worldwide).

Ford's co-stars' wages look like small change by comparison.

Ford's original co-star Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, earned a cool $1million for the film.

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega may be the new faces of the franchise, but their pay packets reflect their previously unknown status.

Both Brit stars picked up a paltry (but still whopping by our standards) £300,000 each for the film.

With the spectacular success of the new film, they will be eyeing up Ford's wage and wondering when theirs will get anywhere near that.

They are both signed for three films with in-built pay rises as the franchise progresses.

"Daisy has been signed to a multi-picture deal with pre-set bumps in her salary that rise substantially with each movie," an insider revealed.

Bearing in mind the shocking and heartbreaking mjor death at the end of The Force Awakens, nobody's involvement in the trilogy is assured.

In the fickle world of Hollywood, being contracted for three films does not mean you will actually make three films.

"Daisy's deal doesn’t guarantee she’ll be in subsequent films," the Hollywood insider continued, "but it gives the studio peace of mind to know she’s contractually obliged if they want her again."
