Right, so if you have X amount of money, you should spend more on wages for the production team, but then that means you have less for your actor. The budget may not be written in the stars but they are very real, even on big productions with big budgets there are always places they have to limit. If the actor salaries are not being limited, then it HAS to be limited somewhere else, and that usually falls on the rest of the production team.

It shouldn't fall on the rest of the production team. It only does because they don't have enough leverage and power. It should fall from the owners.

But movies don't make money solely because of actors, they help sell the brand but tons of movies with big name actors flop and many movies with no-names do well. That means actors aren't the ONLY reason a movie does well. A lot of people in production are just as valuable to a movie, writers, directors, storyboard artists, animators, etc. A lot of those people also spend more time on the project then actors do. Animators even do part of the acting, why aren't they paid just as well? Who determined that actors are "worth" that much? Why would taking in slightly less be a problem (especially if they're still paid well?)

Fair enough. I don't have any idea how to judge the various contributions those people make. What I do know is that, if nothing else, they must be at least that valuable to the movie. Or the people in charge of the movie must think that they're that valuable. Because if they didn't, they wouldn't pay them. That's all I'm saying.
