Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals the Surprising Film That Made Him More Than $40 Million
- Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed on June 23, 2025, that the 1988 comedy film Twins made him more than $40 million, his highest payday.
- He explained the film's success resulted from a backend deal with director Ivan Reitman, granting ownership and a share of box office returns instead of a salary.
- Schwarzenegger recalled the fun chemistry with co-star Danny DeVito while filming Twins, which helped make the movie entertaining and successful worldwide.
- Schwarzenegger said, "It was more than any movie I've ever made," but the planned sequel Triplets was canceled due to Reitman's death in February 2022.
- This situation highlights how creative risks and backend deals can yield substantial rewards but also face unpredictability from unforeseen events like a director's passing.
