Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals His Highest-Paying Movie

by

Arnold Schwarzenegger is disclosing that a film other than The Terminator provided him with the highest salary.

The performer recently appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”, during which he revealed that the movie which brought him the most money was surprisingly his 1988 film, “Twins”.

As a gamer diving into a new adventure, let me tell you, it was a game named “Twins” we were playing since we weren’t earning any in-game currency or rewards. Andy Cohen chimed in, reminding me I had a share of the hidden loot chests. I nodded, explaining that indeed, it was an exciting journey as we cashed out big time at the end.

The FUBAR star didn’t disclose the exact amount he earned from Twins, but he did confirm it surpassed $40 million. He further stated, “It was a greater sum than any other film I have ever worked on.

The film, featuring Danny DeVito alongside, is a buddy comedy centered around an incredibly fit yet naive protagonist on a quest to find his long-forgotten twin sibling. To his surprise, this brother character emerges as a short, ladies’ man and minor criminal.

When Cohen inquired about the actor’s involvement in a potential Twins sequel, Schwarzenegger shared with the host that the sequel would have been titled Triplets, featuring Eddie Murphy alongside him. However, director Ivan Reitman tragically passed away “right as we were planning to begin filming the movie.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once revealed that he didn’t accept a salary for the movie “Twins” initially. Instead, he chose to invest in himself, aiming to demonstrate his versatility in comedy films as well as action ones. This gamble paid off, as the moderately budgeted film became one of the most lucrative backend deals, grossing over $200 million globally.
