The unbelievable salaries the cast of It Ends With Us got paid – with one insane pay gap
Blake Lively got paid 10 times more than co-star Justin Baldoni?!
It Ends With Us may have been a huge hit for the box office, raking in $80 million so far, but it also brought home some pretty massive pay checks for the cast. Both Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were producers, directors and actors in the film, being very heavily involved with its creation. So, how much did the cast of It Ends With Us actually get paid?
Blake Lively – $3 million
According to Spoiler, Blake Lively received a whopping $3 million for her contribution to the film. It makes sense given how big of a part she was in the production too. I guess it pays to be Blake!
Justin Baldoni – $320,000
I was actually so surprised to see such a discrepancy in pay between Blake and Justin given that they’re both big names and both contributed to the production of the film. However, he was LITERALLY THE DIRECTOR. He also put on the performance of his life as Ryle, and fully committed himself to the role (AKA made me HATE him). Not sure why he was paid was nearly 10 times lower than his co-star, but maybe it has something to do with the insane It Ends With Us cast drama that seems to be plaguing the film at the moment.
Brandon Sklenar – $300,000

Atlas was in the film for significantly less time than Justin Baldoni, yet their payslips are almost the same. He also hasn’t been in any huge films before, so I can get behind this one.
Jenny Slate – $250,000
Jenny Slate is rumoured to have taken home a quarter of a million dollars in her role as Allysa, but she definitely deserved more. She was hilarious and acted as a great friend to Lily – the perfect Allysa from the original novel, if not better.
Isabela Ferrer – $85,000
Isabela Ferrer played young Lily and did one hell of a job of it. She was also an insanely similar casting choice to Blake: I couldn’t have picked any other actor to pull off being a younger version of Lily.
Alex Neustaedter – $60,000
Young Atlas was also a great match, and the two had great chemistry together. He really pulled off that homeless but adorable vibe. (Alex, if you’re reading, please take that as a compliment).
