Scarlett Johansson To Earn Big Pay Day For Broadway Play 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof'

IRAN THEATER -- Johansson headlines the show and according to theatre insiders the actress is set for a payday of tens of thousands a week if the play is successful and the figured rumored to be somewhere in the region of $100,000 according to the Huffington Post.
"Scarlett is getting a weekly guarantee, plus a percentage of the box office," one theater insider tells The Huffington Post. "This sort of deal is usually only given to people like Al Pacino (who is rumored to be making $125,000 a week in Glengarry Glen Ross).This is only Scarlett's second Broadway play and she's already being treated -- at least financially -- like a Great White Way legend."
So popular is the Hollywood leading lady that in her last Broadway piece it was hard for anyone to get a ticket.
"The advance for Scarlett's play is huge," one producer revealed. "She won the Tony Award in 2010 in Arthur Miller's play and it was impossible to get a ticket. This time everyone bought in advance."
