its not about first day...even the life time of some of these movies is less than what a Khan movie makes in one day...how can the female lead be expected to get paid the same amount...Movies are not an office job where the output by a male and female employee is the same...in movies the output is in terms of the BO results...so how can someone say that the male actor and the female actor should be paid equal...if their movies are not earning equal...issmein bura manane ki koi baat nahi hai..its business 101.

Actually THG was the only YA franchise that succeeded in that year. The other franchises like Percy Jackson etc tanked despite massive budgets and MALE leads.

Daisy had no role in making it work but Ford is a legend? Wasn't he an unknown prior to the original film? So anyone could have made it a hit. How do you count his contribution to SW but not Jen's to THG?

I don't agree as lifetime and opening day again for big films are pushed by other factors like holiday, raised ticket prices, twice the number of screens. How can we give all advantages to few stars and then ask others to match them? I think pay should be driven by lifetime of films where a star has a significant role. Of course the bigger star will try and take the advantages. So the rest have to work their way up to get the same advantages.

Jlaw was the lead in The Hunger Games, it was her franchise, the male leads were incidental. Give her credit for that. Star wars had a female lead.

One thing I don't understand is why the films with equally important female and male leads are automatically handed to the male actor, while female actors are judged on the basis of "solo" films?
