Johnny Depp + “Dead Man’s Chest” = $60 Million
Johnny Depp’s and Keith Richards star studded performance in last summer’s “Dead Man’s Chest”, was the third highest grossing film ever. It grossed $1.1 billion worldwide at the box office. Johnny Depp’s pay check = over $60 million. 2008 should prove equally profitable for the reserved and reclusive actor. The third “Pirates” sequel, “At World’s End”, is on its way and will at least match its predecessor, which earned $344 million in its opening weekend. What’s next? Johnny starring as the blood-thirsty butcher in this winter’s film adaptation of Sweeney Todd. It’s sure to be another block-buster.
