Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s feud has been in the news for weeks, and now, new details about her proposed contract for It Ends With Us are making everyone talk. Reports say the actress was set to earn over 1.7 million dollars for playing Lily Bloom. That was only her fixed pay. The rest of the deal had extra rewards that could have made her income a lot higher depending on how well the movie did.
She was supposed to get ten percent of the total money the film made. On top of that, if the movie made three times its cost, she would have received another two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. More bonuses were planned for even bigger box office numbers.
The deal also mentioned extra payments if she got any big award nominations or wins. She would have received one hundred thousand dollars for an Oscar nomination and two hundred thousand for an Oscar win. A Golden Globe nomination would earn her seventy-five thousand, and a win would give her one hundred thousand. A SAG nomination meant fifty thousand, and a win would bring seventy-five thousand.
Besides money, the agreement included personal comfort and travel perks. For filming in Las Vegas, she was meant to travel by private jet. The deal covered her four kids with Ryan Reynolds, two nannies, her assistant, and her security team. She would have a private driver, one thousand dollars every week for training and meal plans, and fifteen hundred dollars a week for her assistant.
It was a dream contract by any standard. But reports say this version was only a draft. Blake Lively never signed it. No one knows what the final deal looked like or if it was even bigger than what was written before.
The contract details come out at a time when people are already talking about the tension between Lively and Baldoni. Both starred in and worked behind the scenes on It Ends With Us, and there have been reports of disagreements during filming. The two have not commented publicly, but it is clear things have been rocky.
Whatever happened behind the scenes, one thing is certain. The role of Lily Bloom could have been one of the biggest and most profitable moments of Blake Lively’s career.
