LAst time out, Pacino received (According to published reports) $125,000 a week, plus 5% of profits after recoupment. This is about what it should be considering who he is, and that he is why people buy tickets to this two hander. Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane both famously got $100,000 a week when they returned to save THE PRODUCERS from box office blight. And that was in a HUGE cast musical. I would say that if someone knew what Hugh Jackman's Broadway salary was, no one would say anything except 'Great for Hugh, he deserves it.' I think theres just an undertow of 'who does Pacino think he is?' Well, he's a great movie star and movie actor who loves theatre. Has he left his stage work too late in his career? Possibly. Not for us to say. But let's not knock him down. OK?
