Ok so this movie budget clearly states that this movie cost that much to make but how? I don't think the full house kid was companding a huge salary in cash buckies plus old school animation and Robin Williamns probalbly made about 5 million for being the Geanie so please EXP{LAOIN!! How they wasted that much American money,.
Like $50 and validated parking. Then they sold his image and made a ton. Yay.
No, Robin Williams was paid $75,000, the standard SAG salary scale in those days. And according to a Los Angeles Times article, by the time the Williams-Disney feud was made public, Williams was unable to sue Disney so he didn't recover any royalties.
Williams, who won critical acclaim for his voice work as the chameleonlike wisecracking Genie in the 1992 film, said it was too late for him to sue the studio but said he was hurt and indicated that he may not work for Disney again.
He did get more for Aladdin 3. On top of an apology, he received a 1 million dollar salary, which, if you adjust for inflation, comes out to about 13.5 billion in today's money.
Joe Roth, speaking on behalf of Disney, apologized to Williams for breaching on his contract to not use his voice in the merchandise products inspired by Aladdin.
"Robin complained that we took advantage of his performance as the Genie in the film, exploiting him to promote some other businesses inside the company," Roth told The Times. "We had a specific understanding with Robin that we wouldn't do that. (Nevertheless) we did that. We apologize for it."
Robin Williams joined the film for artistic reasons. He didn't do it for the money. Thats why he didn't want his character to be used in marketing or merchandise. Hence why the small fee.
Disney did it anyway which is what pissed Williams off.
