If you read the article you can see it was intentional because the movie was risky and was everyone, it said Orlando bloom only got 175k.
It being risky would justify low upfront pay with more on the backend. Not low pay period.
I'm sure hollywood accountants can still figure out how the movie lost money overall.
David Prowse died without ever receiving royalties from Return of the Jedi because Lucasfilm insisted it never made a profit, ever.
Orlando was straight out of school at the time.
“Rudy” should have got more.
