Margot Robbie is receiving significant compensation for her crucial role in getting the movie “Barbie” to the big screen. The actress and producer of the biggest hit of the summer is expected to make almost $50 million, including her salary and box office bonuses. Three sources who are familiar with her contract have revealed this information.
Due to the tremendous success of the movie, Greta Gerwig, who is the director and co-writer of “Barbie,” is also expected to receive incentives. Within the previous month, “Barbie” has earned an astounding $526.3 million at the domestic box office and an extra $657.6 million abroad. This sums up to an astonishing $1.18 billion internationally, and considering the movie’s sustained domination at the box office, this number is predicted to rise. The film is presently the second-highest-grossing release from Warner Bros., only behind “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.” Additionally, it surpasses “Frozen II,” which Jennifer Lee co-directed, to become the highest-grossing movie ever directed by a woman.
Robbie, through her production business, LuckyChap Entertainment, not only played a part in bringing the cherished children’s toy to life on screen, but she also worked as a producer for the movie. The company was established in 2014 by her, her future husband, Josey McNamara, and friends Sophia Kerr and Josey Ackerley with the goal of amplifying women’s stories on film and supporting female creators behind the scenes. Their work may be seen in the Oscar-nominated film “Promising Young Woman,” the superhero follow-up “Birds of Prey,” and the Netflix series “Maid.”
In Robbie’s professional history, she has received two Academy Award nominations for her roles in “I, Tonya” and “Bombshell.” She first rose to fame for her part in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” and found financial success with “Suicide Squad” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The astonishing box office success of “Barbie,” which is positioning itself as one of the biggest blockbusters in movie history, has been exceeded by none of these endeavours, though.
Robbie’s representative also declined to make a statement, and Warner Bros. has decided not to comment.
Earlier Years of Margot Robbie
On July 2, 1990, Margot Robbie was born in Dalby, Australia. Her upbringing was a mix of ease and mayhem. Although her family was financially well, her upbringing was tumultuous due to her parents’ divorce when she was only 5 years old. But it was around this time that her enthusiasm for the entertainment industry really started to take off.
However, she had humble beginnings before entering the spotlight. At a circus school, where she excelled at the trapeze, Margot Robbie was first exposed to the entertainment industry. She also continued her studies in drama at Somerset College in Australia. Robbie worked three jobs when she was a student and tried to make a name for herself as an actress.
Margot Robbie’s Major Development
Margot Robbie’s big break came in 2008 when she landed a guest spot on the hit TV series “Neighbours.” Her involvement lasted for an astonishing 355 episodes due to her continuing success. The unexpected opportunity Robbie received represented a turning point in his career.
Robbie described how she unintentionally contacted the production firm every day, unwittingly getting in touch with the casting director who asked her to an audition, during an appearance on the Graham Norton Show in the UK. This served as her first significant exposure to the world of tiny and large screens. After arriving in the US in 2011, Robbie joined the cast of the television drama “Pan-Am,” appearing in all 14 of the season’s episodes.
One of Margot Robbie’s Biggest Films
Margot Robbie made her debut in big motion movies two years later when she played the wife of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in the classic movie “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Her debut in the film industry came as a result of this part.
Three years after “The Wolf of Wall Street,” when she played Harley Quinn in “Suicide Squad,” she truly rose to fame. Robbie’s portrayal of the character was nothing short of extraordinary in this, the role’s debut on-screen live-action interpretation. In the 2016 film “The Legend of Tarzan,” she also played the female lead.
After that, Robbie’s career was marked by a run of successes and prominent roles. She played Queen Elizabeth I in the movie “Mary Queen of Scots,” returned to the Harley Quinn role in the films “Birds of Prey” and “The Suicide Squad,” and had a key supporting role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
