What was said

"The piece of the backend is gonna be huge. If he has the best deal, it's gonna be like $1 gross percentage, which is like the moment top line somebody buys a ticket, he gets a piece of that. And that could be a billion-dollar box office thing. He could be getting 9 figures for doing a movie."

Tom Segura revealed insider details about Johnny Depp's forthcoming Pirates of the Caribbean return, explaining the actor will likely receive a massive upfront guarantee plus significant backend participation from the first dollar of box office revenue. Given the franchise's earning potential, Depp could earn nine figures from the single film. This represents a major Hollywood comeback following his highly publicized legal battles.
