Details of Bullock’s payday were published in The Hollywood Reporter. It is not unknown for actors to take a cut of a film’s profits, but Bullock’s deal is unusual. Most studios insist on recouping costs before sharing profits with the actors, according to the trade publication, but Bullock negotiated a 15 per cent cut of Warner Bros’ box-office takings known as “first-dollar gross”. So far she has made an estimated $50 million, including her fee, but a further $20 million is expected from DVD sales and television broadcast. Bullock has disclosed that she initially turned down the film because she wanted to spend more time at home with her son, but was persuaded by Cuaron. The first choice of star, Angelina Jolie, had dropped out.
