Bruce Willis Still 'Very Hot Commodity' In Hollywood Despite Razzie Nominations: Report
Bruce Willis remains a "very hot commodity" in Hollywood. He has nearly a dozen films to arrive this year, causing him to earn millions on top of his whopping net worth.
Sources discussed the matter with Globe for its March 7 issue because of the eight Razzie nominations he obtained for his eight films in 2021. He even received his own category, "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis In A 2021 Movie."
Despite this, though, the veteran actor still reportedly gets the "last laugh" because of his upcoming projects. Moreover, he has other income streams and hefty assets, leading the outlet to assert that he has turned his "raspberries into solid gold.”
As the public would recall, the Razzies or the Golden Raspberry Awards give awards to "Hollywood's biggest stinkers." Vulture said they are the "dark counterpart" to the prestigious mainstays, like the Oscars and Emmys.
Bruce Willis received eight nominations for the 42nd annual awards, covering the eight projects he did for 2021. These are "American Siege," "Fortress," "Apex," "Cosmic Sin," "Midnight in the Switchgrass," "Out of Death," "Deadlock," and "Survive the Game."
But, even so, "Diana: The Musical" from Netflix is leading this year's charge with nine nominations. As to which materials and actors would get the awards, the public will learn when the awarding ceremony airs on March 26, a day before the Oscars.
Meanwhile, Bruce Willis, indeed, has several film projects for 2022. Two out of eight titles already premiered earlier this year, while the rest will drop in the next few months.
The actor, also, has three more titles to work on, and they have yet to receive official release dates. Reports said that these are "Paradise City," "Wire Room," and "White Elephant."
With regard to his net worth, Celebrity Net Worth reports that the actor is worth $250 million. He reportedly takes an upfront salary of $20 million per title these days, thus, making him earn hundreds of millions in 2021 and 2022 alone.
It is no longer new, however, for Bruce Willis to earn such an amount from his movie projects. The same publication recalled that his earnings from the 1999 hit "The Sixth Sense" alone totaled $100 million.
It, also, pointed out that the figure is the "second-most money ever earned" by an actor from a film. Keanu Reeves' $156 million is at the top of the list for his stint on the two "Matrix" titles.
But, considering that the figure of the latter actor comes from two separate movies, Willis' cut from "The Sixth Sense" is said to be technically the "largest" in the history of Hollywood.
