Sydney Sweeney’s star is rising fast, and so is her paycheck. Following the massive success of Anyone But You, where Sweeney starred alongside Glen Powell, the actress has landed a $7.5 million deal for her next movie, The Housemaid, a thriller from Lionsgate co-starring Amanda Seyfried and directed by Paul Feig. This is a significant leap from her $2 million Anyone But You fee.
Anyone But You was a surprising hit in December 2023, earning $220 million worldwide on a modest $25 million budget. Sources say Sweeney also earned millions in backend profits from the movie and received a $250,000 executive producing fee. Her dedication to the project was evident; she even took on a supporting role in Madame Web for Sony Pictures to help secure the rom-com’s greenlight.
Sweeney’s versatile roles — from the biopic Reality to horror thriller Immaculate — and strategic career moves have made her one of Hollywood’s most in-demand talents, with paychecks now comparable to top-tier stars like her Euphoria co-star Zendaya, who earned $10 million for Challengers.
