How much did Sarah Jessica Parker make for Hocus Pocus 2?
The original Hocus Pocus, when released in 1993, didn’t perform well at the box office and was largely loathed by critics who were meaner than the Sanderson Sisters themselves, but it went on to become a cult classic and a nostalgic favorite among the millennial set. Her salary for the sequel isn’t known, but Parker said she was admittedly surprised that the sequel was greenlit. “To be completely honest, for the past 28 years, I didn’t think much about a sequel,” she told Vanity Fair at the Hocus Pocus 2 premiere in September 2022. “I wasn’t involved in the conversations. When I found out it was going to happen, I was in shock. Bette [Midler] was the person who imagined the idea for years and thought that this would all happen. She could not be deterred from the idea, and I admire her so much for believing and fighting for a sequel. The lesson is, listen to the Divine Miss M. She knows what works and how to get it done.”
How much did Sarah Jessica Parker make off the original Sex and the City series?
Sex and The City writer and executive producer Michael Patrick King revealed on the Origins With James Andrew Miller podcast in 2018 that Parker had the highest salary out of the main cast (which also included Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon) from the get-go because she was the most established as an A-list name. “The show doesn’t exist if Sarah Jessica wasn’t the blonde star of the show, that’s No. 1. Kim was not at the height of her career, Kristin was under her in terms of notability, Cynthia was a theater actress—and their contracts reflected that status.” He added that Parker’s name “was contractually, legally, righteously, the only name on the poster due to the fact that she was a movie star in 1998 when the series started and she did a leap to do a show about sex on the channel that did the fights [HBO], and it doesn’t matter how popular you are.” Though Parker’s exact salary for the original series hasn’t been reported, it’s estimated that she earned about $50 million for the first three seasons of Sex and the City.
