Vanity Fair have created this video that shows us approximately how much people make on a $200 million blockbuster!

Unsurprisingly, above-the-line talent scores the biggest paycheck; Lead Actors 1, 2, and 3 comprise 9% of the film's entire budget. But the director, producers, editor, DP, and lead writers don't fare too badly, either, each earning $1 million or above.

Here's the main breakdown: 

  • Director: $4 mil
  • Executive Producers: $1.1 mil
  • Producers: $1 mil
  • Writers (3 tiers): $3.2 mil, $900k, $250k
  • DP: $900k
  • Production Designer: $779k
  • Editor: $924k
  • Costume Designer: $315k
  • Original Score/Composer: $800k
