I should totally have expected this, but boy are film budgets heavy-tailed. According to your link, Terminator 3 spent $35 million on its cast, which consisted of:
Arnold Schwarzenegger: $29.25 million + 20% gross profits
Arnold’s perks: $1.5 million
Rest of principal cast: $3.85 million
Extras: $450,000
Arnold’s perks alone might have cost more than any other actor on set… (although it’s not subdivided finely enough to know for sure).
Only tangentially related:
