Just remember now:

The Avengers has now earned $1.18 billion dollars globally in roughly 24 days (17 days in the US).

Every time you watch The Avengers in the cinemas, you’re adding to Robert Downey Jr.’s paycheck (since he’s rumored to be getting between 5-7% of the film’s box-office profits; it’s unknown whether he’s also getting a cut of the DVD/Blu-ray profits later on).

So in that sense, you are Robert Downey Jr.’s employer.

In a way, shouldn’t I be able to schedule an “employer evaluation” meeting with Mr. Downey?

I’ve seen this film an embarrassing amount of times now.

Robert Downey Jr. already in North Carolina to start Iron Man 3 shoot:

From Reddit user, OliviaC4:

“So Robert Downey Jr. stopped by my place of employment last night.

I work at a seafood restaurant in Wrightsville Beach, NC. Iron Man 3 is being filmed right outside or Wrightsville in Wilmington and the crew chose our restaurant to host the kick-off party for the movie. It was pretty awesome … RDJ attended and even gave a speech, as did Shane Black.”

Robert Downey Jr. ‘Avengers’ Pay Set to Hit $50 Million

Marvel’s The Avengers is a global box-office sensation, but among studio executives, it’s being hailed as much as a triumph of smart deal-making. After all, the famously frugal Marvel managed to corral six hot stars into one film without breaking the bank.

But Robert Downey Jr., 47, seems to be the lone exception to Marvel’s strict cost controls.

According to multiple knowledgeable sources, Iron Man/Tony Stark is set for a high-flying payday of about $50 million once box office bonuses and back-end compensation are factored in. (Two sources claim the number could go higher than $50 million once the ultimate box-office haul of Avengers is known, but another source cautions that it could be years before the final number is known.)

While on par with the upper echelon of franchise movie stars, that number blows away his superhero co-stars, all of whom will make a small fraction of Downey’s total, even as Avengers has a shot at topping the final Harry Potter film’s $1.32 billion global haul.

Why the difference?

When Marvel’s Iron Man grossed a surprising $585 million worldwide in 2008, Downey’s reps at CAA and the Hansen Jacobson law firm renegotiated a deal to include what multiple sources say is a slice of Marvel’s revenue from future movies in which he plays Iron Man (one source puts it in the 5 percent to 7 percent range; another source disputes the percentage. Marvel and Downey’s reps declined to comment).

…

While Downey’s pay might seem high, it’s not unheard of for stars with backend to collect super-rich paydays when their films become global smashes. Johnny Depp is said to have made at least $250 million from the four Pirates of the Caribbean movies …

At those rates, Downey almost seems cheap.
