💰 Michael Douglas's Paycheck Revealed for Every Movie He Ever Made | Hits & Flops

[@ChadPrestonOfficialThree]

The format is great. Keep doing it. The salary "in 2024" numbers are appreciated!

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you, @ChadPrestonOfficialThree! I think I’ll stick with it, then. 😉

[@FrancisXLord]

Converting it to 2024 money is appreciated. I'm a bit of a figure hound myself, often Googling those figures when it peaks my interest (as it so often does). However, while I'm actually very good at digesting information quickly, even I had to pause the video several times to read all the figures. Might I suggest you slow the crawl a little so I don't have to keep pausing.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you, @FrancisXLord! I'm glad you like the improvements. Feedback like this really keeps me motivated. The crawl is already slightly slower compared to my previous non-inflation-adjusted videos, but I’ll definitely consider slowing it down even more-perhaps gradually, from one video to another, to find the sweet spot. In the meantime, consider using KZbin's built-in playback speed options. Thank you again; your input is truly valuable to me. 🙂

[@heyyall5651]

You can adjust the speed yourself. There's a setting called "playback speed".

[@rickhaun]

Love all that you have added

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Glad to hear that, @rickhaun! It makes the production process more time-consuming, but if it improves the experience, it’s worth every minute of work. 😉

[@two-sml]

Yes, please continue with this new format

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you, @two-sml! It really means a lot to be reassured about improvements like these.

[@Derek-vg3fg]

New additions to the format are great! You are the only one I trust with these stats despite others trying to copy. Unless they are on your channel, in my eyes, they don't exist! keep up the good work and btw Jack Lemon, Brad Pitt and Sean Connery?

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you, @Derek-vg3fg! Your words really mean a lot to me right now. I’ve also noticed some copycat channels, and it’s quite sad how they’re trying to turn my idea into a mass production of low-quality videos based on poor research. They clearly lack genuine enthusiasm and passion, yet they still manage to grab some views. Anyway, loyal viewers like yourself are truly priceless, and I hope people will notice the difference in quality and passion over time. Lemmon, Pitt, and Connery are all added to the list, and I will cover them all eventually. Thanks again for your support; it's much appreciated. 😉

[@Arzola7]

The adjusted amount is awesome = keep it! Where's the Steve McQueen video?

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for reassuring me about the improvements, @Arzola7. Your feedback is truly valuable in cases like this. Steve is on the list, but it takes some time to get to him (others are already scheduled), so please bear with me. 😉

[@CeeJay591]

Love the improvements

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Glad to hear that, @CeeJay591! I really appreciate your feedback. 😉

[@Moist369]

Since this is a stats video, then all those additional stats make a lot of sense to show us. Very helpful ty & GL

[@authorjohnwquinn]

Love this new format! Thanks for putting in the work!

[@40yearoldman]

These get better every week. Keep up the good work

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Glad you like them, @40yearoldman! Your feedback truly keeps me motivated!

[@eranshalom]

That great! please keep on doing it

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for reassuring me about this, @eranshalom! Much appreciated.

[@Moist369]

Finally I would assume at some point you'd want to do directors as well like Nolan and Abrams and Spielberg etc...just to mix it up. Again good work and GL

[@patmacmanus]

I'm a little confused. What constitutes a flop, a bomb?

[@steveleslie2170]

Yup, a 20 to 50 million dollar profit isn't a flop...I think a few were mistakes.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for bringing this up, @patmacmanus! A 'Bomb' is when a movie earns less than its budget at the box office. A 'Flop' is when it earns less than 2x its budget at the box office. Why? Because box office earnings are split between the studio and the theaters, so a movie needs to earn more than twice its budget to actually turn a profit. I hope this clarifies things for you too, @steveleslie2170. I may have to find a way to highlight this in my videos. Thank you both for tuning in!

[@billverge7822]

nice updates to your format, easier for dumb guys like me to comprehend ...great job!

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Glad to hear you love them, @billverge7822! By the way, I think people who consume infographic content are far from being 'dumb.' 😉

[@ttlayli]

I like the new format.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for reassuring me, @ttlayli! It's truly valuable to know whether a change like this resonates with the audience.

[@MihaiRiz1]

I think its a good idea what u did with these cards. I think maybe in the future u should do videos like these from time to time with the actors that didnt have this type of cards from previous videos ( sylvester s. arnold s. , harrison f. ant the rest of them) to be updated.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

That's an excellent idea, @MihaiRiz1! Thank you! Also, I’m grateful for your feedback-it's great to know whether an update like this resonates with the audience.

[@Balvenie9091]

keep it in

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thanks for confirming, @Balvenie9091!

[@danlove12k]

He is worth every penny. A great actor 😅

[@himeclue32]

Can we get Will Smith next please

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

He's coming in approx. 2 weeks, @himeclue32, so bear with me.

[@scottcleary4128]

Could you please explain to me what a Flop or Bomb in a Movie, when the Movie is Profitable. With Michael there was at least 5 Movies that were Profitable but called a Bomb. Thanks

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for bringing this up, @scottcleary4128! A 'Bomb' is when a movie earns less than its budget at the box office. A 'Flop' is when it earns less than 2x its budget at the box office. Why? Because box office earnings are split between the studio and the theaters, so a movie needs to earn more than twice its budget to actually turn a profit. I hope this clarifies. I may have to find a way to highlight this in my videos too. Thank you for tuning in!

[@Moist369]

Also you always read about hneetodays movies need to make not double but closer to 2.5x their budget to break even depending on the blockbuster sized scale of the production. Now i hear its over 2.5x. It would be interesting to have that info also if it's possible and not exceedingly difficult

[@yojimbodog]

I liked it !

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you, @yojimbodog!

[@Moist369]

The additional charts and adjusted for inflation is much better.

[@ollienilson1644]

Yes, it was good. Keep going

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for reassuring me about this, @ollienilson1644! I really appreciate it.

[@PUFFFIRE]

Steven Segal, Sidney Poitier, Charles Bronson.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Poitier? We're kindred souls, @PUFFFIRE! His work and influence are amazing! Thank you for adding him to the list. 😉

[@BLRayBanUK]

Adjusted for inflation is good but its too much info to view without stopping

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for the feedback, @BLRayBanUK. Do you think slowing the crawl down a bit would enhance the experience?

[@BLRayBanUK]

@BoxOfficeJoe if you're gonna put that much info then absolutely yes :)

[@heyyall5651]

Wow it looks like MD had a hard time picking hit movies unless it was a franchise in the 2000s

[@piettefrank]

You save us time with the salary adjustment to 2024. Jake Gyllenhall. Steve Martin, Jeff Bridges

[@DavidBrooks-c6y]

THE STAR CHAMBER. A " bomb ". It was an absolutely awesome movie.

[@valerieirvin4330]

The new way much better😊

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Glad to hear you like it, @valerieirvin4330! It's valuable to know whether an update like this resonates with the audience. Thank you. 😀

[@roddizon2242]

The Street of San Francisco series,how much he earn on that.

[@Jhill057]

Do Dustin Hoffman

[@faiuzahmed1690]

CHRISTIAN BALE JASON STATHAM JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME JIM CARREY ROWAN ATKINSON MICHAEL B.JORDAN WESLEY SNIPES PATRICK WILSON

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Quite a list, @faiuzahmed1690! They're all great choices. I’m especially curious about Rowan Atkinson. 😉 Stay tuned-I’ll cover them all!

[@lloydg8324]

I feel it’s a bit too much adding today’s numbers into the video. It’s a lot to digest. I think the speed is perfect and I wouldn’t change it. Thank you for today’s video.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Thank you for sharing that, @lloydg8324! Agreed, it's a double-edged sword. That's why I conducted a poll about this before actually making it happen. The feedback has generally been positive regarding this improvement, so maybe I'll stick with it for a while. We'll see in the long run. If you feel it's too much, maybe just concentrate on the figures you're more interested in. In my case, it's actually the adjusted values-it's easier for me to comprehend the magnitude of the sum than the original figures. Hope this helps, and thank you for tuning in! 😉
