Since the film industry is putting its money into films that are guaranteed to make big bucks at the box office, the companies need bankable stars who can pull a project to that goal. This led to us seeing the rise of Mark Wahlberg in the business with such an astronomical rate. So far, the actor has delivered several multi-million dollar films and continues to do so.
And with the delivery of such gargantuan earnings in the studios’ offers, they ensure that his pockets are also sufficiently stuffed with compensation, which has enabled him to create a staggering $440 Million net worth. But contrary to the assumption thatTransformers: Age of Extinctionmight’ve been his highest-paying film, it’s actually Netflix’sSpenser Confidential.
Spenser ConfidentialWas Mark Wahlberg’s Highest-Paying Film
Starting off in the industry as a young buck with his rhymes in the Hip-Hop and Rap music scene,Mark Wahlbergquickly saw himself rise to fame with his entry into major films in Hollywood. Today, the star sits at the top with several A-List celebrities as one of the most commercially successful actors in history.
DespiteTransformers: Age of Extinctionbeing his most commercially successful endeavor in films with a whopping $1.1 Billion in revenue, he was only paid $17 Million. In comparison, he got more than double for his Netflix film.
In 2020, Wahlberg, along with actor Winston Duke, featured in their Netflix original film titledSpenser Confidential,which remains the third biggest movie of all time for the streaming giant. According to their measurement metrics, with more than 85 Million households viewing it in the first month of its release, the film was a smashing success.
And seeing that theUnchartedstar was paid $30 Million, more than twice for the aforementionedTransformersmovie, Netflix may have had the assurance that his star power and promise of delivery would do them right in the end.
What WasSpenser ConfidentialAbout?
While the film may not have been such a huge critical success, the commercial success more than made up for it not being a masterpiece.
The film tells the tale of a former police officer named Spenser, who was imprisoned after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a fellow officer who was suspected of murdering one of his family friends. When he is released, he goes to live with his friend Henry Cimoli and his roommate Hawk quietly. But then, an honest police officer pleads guilty to murder, and Spenser decides to get to the bottom of it.
