Why they are except high salary?

There are several reasons why these actors command such high salaries:

Box office success: Actors who consistently star in successful films and franchises are able to command higher salaries, as they are considered a safe investment for studios and producers.

Star power: Actors who have a strong fan base and are considered "box office draws" can also command higher salaries, as their involvement in a project can help attract audiences and generate more revenue.

Negotiating power: Some actors, particularly those with a high level of experience and a strong track record, have more negotiating power and can command higher salaries.

Multiple income streams: Some actors have multiple income streams, such as producing and owning the rights to their films, which allows them to negotiate higher salaries.

Popularity: Some actors are very popular in their countries or globally, their movies get good collection in box office and their fans are willing to pay more to watch them on screen.

The role they play: Some actors are known for playing lead roles in movies and their characters are important for the story, so they get paid more than others who play supporting roles.

These are a few of the reasons that actors can command high salaries. However, it's worth noting that the entertainment industry is constantly changing and the salaries of actors can fluctuate depending on a number of factors.
