“He Brings In More Box Office Than I Do,” says the director of “Don’t Look Up.” For the uninitiated, Don’t Look Up is a forthcoming sci-fi comedy film about a pair of scientists on a mission to make a point.
Jennifer Lawrence has been busy promoting her forthcoming picture Don’t Look Up, which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio. The film has been generating a lot of buzz among fans, owing to its star-studded ensemble, and it appears that the performers were paid differently. J Law was paid $25 million, which is $5 million less than what Leo was offered, according to a recent report. For the uninitiated, Don’t Look Up is a forthcoming sci-fi comedy film about a pair of scientists on a mission to make a point. The film’s trailer depicts the globe in peril as a high-speed comet approaches the earth’s surface. Adam McKay directed the film, which is set to premiere on Netflix on December 24, 2021. Ariana Grande and Merryl Streep are among the many actors who appear in the film.
In the interaction, Jennifer Lawrence stated, “Look, Leo brings in more box office than I do. I’m extremely fortunate and happy with my deal”. Jennifer Lawrence claimed in a recent interview with Vanity Fair that there was a salary gap between her and Leonardo DiCaprio for the film Don’t Look Up, but she didn’t mind. She was of the opinion that he pulls in more money at the box office than she does, so it’s somewhat justified.
She did, however, make it plain that wage discrepancy in every film is not justifiable. Makers don’t always have a good cause to pay the female counterpart less than the male counterpart, but it does. She added, “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 question something that appears unequal, you’re told it’s not gender disparity but they can’t tell you what exactly it is.”
