Renner really didn’t deserve to be in on the top money on that film, and while Christian Bale and Cooper were important, you wouldn’t have had men watching that movie without Amy Adams especially, and J Lawrence.
But I don’t think the director should be compared to the actors. He deserved top dollar.
She still made a bundle on the film.
Bale and Cooper were bigger stars than Lawrence and Adams at the time. They had done the Batman and Hangover trilogies. Renner was in Avengers, where even as a supporting role, a movie of that size made him as big a star as the others. Lawrence had only done one Hunger Games movie that could be described as a blockbuster. Amy Adams definitely had a weaker box office history than any of them though. So I maybe would have bumped Lawrence up a million between Adams and the men.
