Are you for equal pay for actresses? - Page 11

In current model its not prediction. Its about initial value that a star brings in. Male actors with a weak lead bring in bigger collections than female actors with weak leads. Which is an indicator that producers are looking at.

See I am having a hard time understanding this distinction between "value" and "box office prediction." When you someone will bring in bigger collections, that becomes a prediction.

By initial value I mean, assessment at a time and point based on history of a star. Higher the value higher the chance of collection. You can call it prediction but I just wanted to make a distinction because initial value is more about what someone has done and not about what some could do though what someone has done is impacting what someone can do and hence the higher salary. Plus prediction can be combination of initial value + potential/.other factors. I dont think money givers consider that. They look at it ok Salman always brings a 70 crore weekend as oppose to priyanka chopra who brings a headache. lol

Still its splitting hairs

This is unfair on two levels.

1) Women have not yet broken the glass ceiling. It sends a message no matter how hard you work or how talented you actually are your gender is worthless. But people have an objection to this line of thought so lets toss it aside.

2) It is unfair on investors. It forces them to take high risk. They stand to lose a lot when overhyped stars deliver duds.

Well it is at least based on something. It is better than automatic payments. If Salman Khan comes in and asks a high amount based on his performance this does not mean you will automatically pay deepika the same amount.

I think its fair..its flexible...its adaptive...its not a bank account salary that is likely to be same.

Its a performance based industry

women have to prove their box office worth..i dont know how...they need to record some box office movies and they will get the pay...not everyone...even among men not everyone gets the same

but i do agree that lead actress should get more than b graders males

This is why I suggest an equal base pay. And the star who believes they can deliver box office cash can get a percentage of the collections. This way an overhyped star doesn't laugh to the bank while an investor loses big. I think you agree this is fair.

It is fair but base pay of a arabian horse and mule cannot be same. lol

*referring to performance here not gender lol

Really?

Deepika, Ranbir, and Sonam debuted around the same time. If we determine a value based on past performance - Deepika and Ranbir deserve equal pay. Sonam perhaps less.

Similarly Alia, Varun, Sid debuted at the same time. If we determine a value based on past performance - Alia > Varun > Sid

But I would still say If SOTY was remade today. All three deserve equal pay. If Alia thinks she deserves more she asks for a share of collections added to her equal pay.

Dunno !!!
