Ford paid substantially bigger cut for Star Wars
Both of those films launched in December, too, which typically doesn’t make for a huge opening, but does enable an extended play. There will be some critics who will enjoy sounding pompous and some hardcore fans that will never be satisfied, but ignore them.
But both outlets agree that in addition to millions of dollars upfront, Ford will also get some percentage of the profits from Star Wars: The Force Awakens and with the biggest worldwide opening of all time, that may add up to be a pretty significant chunk of change.

Jose Mourinho was handed his P45 just 48 hours before the Blues hosted Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. I can assure you it was not a decision we took lightly.
For someone who was in fourth grade when “Star Wars” (back when the title was just that, with no “A New Hope” appended to it) was released, this was a heretical thought.
Braden, who won a free seven-year pass to any movie shown at the local Alamo Drafthouse chain of theaters and a collection of Star Wars merchandise, told The Hollywood Reporter that it was “a grueling ordeal, even though I loved the movie”. And they have never appeared in a tentpole blockbuster before.

I have no problems giving Star Wars: The Force Awakens 4 out of 5 raindrops. The antagonists could have been better developed and the call backs fewer, but Abrams nevertheless delivered a worthy addition to the Star Wars saga.
