Mobs of folks ain't going to a flick on the strength of Common being in it, so he ain't making paper like that. But he could get there. Robert Down Jr's recovering crackhead-azz couldn't get arrested till he did IronMan. Now he can charge 10 mill a flick. I wonder how "true" these numbers are tho. I mean once the labels, agents and managers start taking their cuts, i wonder how much loot these cats really take home. Granted, it's more than my butt's gonna see, but still, i wonder if it's as much as they report/want reported. Them acting checks is nice but Common’s not a Box Office Draw yet.
