What do Oppenheimer, The Devil Wears Prada, and A Quiet Place all have in common? Money, my friend. And also Emily Blunt, who stars in all three and made a ton of cash in the process. Like, to the point where her Quiet Place 2 salary was the highest of any actress in 2019, per Variety.
Emily has a knack for picking big box office hits, which tend to come with big box office paychecks. Like…Edge of Tomorrow, The Adjustment Bureau, Jungle Cruise, Looper? Costars like Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, and The Rock? The movies were made to make! money!
And while Emily’s exact salary for every single one of her films isn’t known, we do have some specifics.
Emily Made a TON for Jungle Cruise (but there was a big pay disparity)
Variety reports Emily made between $8-10 million for Jungle Cruise. But unfortunately, there was a pretty huge pay discrepancy between her and The Rock, who earned $22 million in the movie, according to TMZ.
Emily actually recently spoke about equal pay in Hollywood to Harper’s Bazaar UK, saying, “Ambition is healthy–it shouldn’t be seen as a negative thing. It’s about knowing your worth and what you bring to a project, and never apologizing for doing well.”

She previously spoke about the subject to Vanity Fair in 2018, saying, “I took it on as my personal responsibility to make sure that I don’t feel shortchanged or less than…. Especially in this new climate, I think that it’s okay to reclaim the words ‘making an aggressive deal’ as a positive. Usually people are making so much money off your back that it comes down to a sort of justice thing for me. I make it a point to not be too concerned with ‘I hope they think I’m a team player.’ The people who are calling and making the deals are business affairs. It’s not the producer. It’s people who are billed to fuck you up. To shortchange you….In a way, because we are inundated with those types of stories now, it has created a much safer climate to ask for what you want.”
Her Quiet Place 2 Salary Involved Some Drama
Sooooo, according to Variety, Emily earned between $12-13 million for A Quiet Place 2. Which is obviously enormous, and—again—was the highest salary for an actress in 2019. But she and John Krasinski were not here for Paramount’s decision to shorten the movie’s theatrical release window since—per Bloomberg—they had “a contract that compensates them based on the film’s box-office performance,” and they ended up asking for more money.
