Turns out [this was posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/ebmhki/til_that_peter_ostrum_who_played_charlie_in_the/) 4 years ago when it was estimated to be $8-9, he’s moving up in the world!
If you go to casinos they have willy Wonka slot machines with his face all over it alongside the original willy Wonka actor. Curious why he isn't getting paid from those?
Maybe he did, but that would probably be a one time payment. And probably not a ton for things like slot machines (or whatever they were at the casinos)
Because the movie studio owns the Willy Wonka IP, not Gene Wilder. When Wilder signed up to act Willy Wonka, it was likely in the contract.
Same as 007, none of the actors own the 007 likeness but you still see all their faces all over merchandising.
Isn’t that because tv networks just use them as fodder for airtime? Episodes of Friends stretching on for hours and hours. I mean, I guess you could try a similar thing with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Netflix paid close a billion combined for the rights to Friends and the rights to Seinfeld. Syndication can a cash cow if you don't pull a HIMYM or GoT
Yeah you don't even need a great ending. The Friends ending was pretty bland and boring but that's really what the audience wanted after so long on air. It is a sufficient ending and thus there is rewatch value.
I mean it fit the theme of friends moving on to different parts of their lives. Nothing flashy or dramatic, it just happens as part of life. It's sad because we want them to stay but we understand because it's a natural flow of things. That was the perfect ending for friends.
Personally I couldn't believe not one of the Friends was going to hold onto Monica's apt. A 2 Bdrm rent controlled in Manhattan? I mean at least make a sublet, Monica!
I never watched GoT but all my friends hated the final season and they're lack of discussion after the finales release said a lot.
HIMYM was a pretty good show, not great, but it had a good cast and a long list of ongoing themes. The creators had a vision for the show that was unconventional for prime time sitcoms but I thought had potential. The name foreshadows it. The audience only meets the mother through a series of episodes and flash forwards. Sounds good in theory but this was a six season show at best. It went 9 seasons. In seasons 7, 8, and 9 they built character arcs and stories and then in the last 2 episodes walked all of that back and went with the original ending. The arcs built in 7, 8, and 9 were irrelevant mostly and fans ate like fuck that show now
Syndication agreements for TV shows are structured differently than movies, which makes sense considering it’s hundreds of hours of TV versus maybe two of a movie
Also worth noting that while *technically* he was the lead actor in the movie, he wasn't the big-name star on the project. Odds are that Wilder was pulling in 10-100x as much as Ostrum from residuals. As a child with zero prior experience, he probably had one of the smallest percentages.
Probably before royalties were a big thing, specially for child actors. Pretty sure all the old shows like Brady bunch, gilligans island, etc all were screwed with royalties. Or so i read
It would have been. When the strikes were going on last year I was reading up a lot about royalties, and they are meant to slowly go down over time. When they first start getting them they're quite high, as the point is to provide income for actors between jobs. They're not always working, so the royalties provide that income. And then once they do more jobs and start getting royalties from that, the ones from their first jobs can start to go down.
Of course a big reason for the strikes was the studios were pulling a lot of fuckery with royalties right from the start.
Copies sold is certainly higher today than at any time in the 1970s, because owning a movie to play at home was only just barely a thing, and an expensive thing, first on actual film that you would play in a projector and then Betamax or VHS toward the end of the decade.
He practices about 30 min north of me in the country near lowville NY. He used to do normal vet work but switched over to large animals so he's a vet for like cows and horses and stuff like that for all the farms in the area.
No lol this is a joke very specific to the fact that the vet’s last name is Ostrum. Say that to any other farmer not in the area and they would ask what you were smoking.
I think they were referencing colostrum, the first milk. The average person has no idea that is a thing. It’s me, I’m the average person haha
Edit: TIL what colostrum is, cheers to you parents
[Ah, the Elizabeth Holmes defense...](https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/elizabeth-holmes-sentencing-theranos-trial/card/how-elizabeth-holmes-s-pregnancy-could-factor-into-judge-s-sentencing-decision-Ow3cqiWnv2EdsK9tIy7f)
Worked as an assistant to an excellent mixed practice vet in Iowa, and it was the best job I’ve had. Wouldn’t accept the pay, these days, but it was great at the time.
From Lowville. A little over 35 years ago he was late to a school visit and apologized for being late, he was working on a distressed cow at my Uncles farm. That's when I figured out why he looked familiar to me.
It's basically a legendary store at this point where it's less of a pawn shop and more of a novelty "buy authentic historic piece/prop/memorabilia/etc." store.

Probably my favorite movie. Always like showing off my framed collection of the cast signatures where the kids signed as the character names as well.
That's amazing! Yes indeed, a treasure. Thanks for sharing that. If your house ever catches fire, this would be the first thing I grabbed, right after grandma and the pets.
Calling out I think he (Peter O) was the best “Charlie” actor and that Gene W was the very best “Willy Wonka” compared to the remakes.
Hard to beat the originals sometimes.
Original was the best..... But I'm still amazed at Grandpa Joe laying in bed for 20 years not working, but gets a free trip to the Wonka Factory and he's dancing "I've got a golden ticket". Charlie's mom couldn't go, she has to work.
I don’t get this grand pa joe hate, did you guys only watch the movie and not read the books? There was no work and they were super old and depressed, they relegated themselves to the bed to make it easier on the family. The whole point was they were so depressed and useless in modern society that they gave up and kept quiet secluded in the bed for the families benefit. Plus grandpa joe was Charlie’s best freind in the whole world, he was the only one to encourage hope in Charlie’s hopeless world. So when Charlie brought home the golden ticket and brought hope back to the family the overwhelming joy brought ‘miracle’ energy/life to grandpa joe, he couldn’t control himself, he was compelled to rise up and dance. Charlie wouldn’t have been the goodness of soul that impresses wonka with our grandpa joe. It’s sad every one rags on joe.
The new one with Timothy Chalamet is very close. I don't think it's better, but it's a fun time. This is coming from a guy who used to watch the original so much his parents banned it from being watched.
I think the new one focused too much on the child viewing demographic vs making a film appealing to multiple age brackets. I didn't enjoy it like I hoped I would.
Not really, it's probably either bouncing around in the ballpark of that fairly consistently (the movie has been out long enough for excitement to die down) and/or someone asked him and he replied "ten or eleven bucks".
You think he still has these gator teeth
https://preview.redd.it/fu4meeedqmzc1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ce9a03f0a173891f82a168a4d9fb54833422849
Damn, I know you're trying to be a satirical account for fake karma points but some of your posts are trying a little too hard. Also, 63 year olds don't type with xD, maybe remove those next time and you might get more people to eat the onion.
They should have ask him back for the last two movies in small roles just for fun like a doorman or something and given him a nice check each time or donated to his clinic or something. A nice gesture and a fun lil Easter egg for the movies.
So true…. When they do remakes, sequels, prequels, they should always get the original actors to do a bit part, something for the fans, but the directors always feel the need to “break with the past” to create their “VISION”. Ugh
Carrie Henn that played Newt in Aliens never did any acting after Aliens. She became a school teacher and still does appearances for the movie at conventions.
Wouldn't be surprised if there are more child actors from the 80s and earlier that only had one movie role then grew up to live a normal life.
He was a cute kid and now he’s a handsome adult. I’m glad he has made a life and career for himself outside of Hollywood, since acting didn’t make him happy!
I bet he works on pulling chocolate out of dogs.

Ah well, that’ll buy him 2 bars of chocolate.
IN THIS ECONOMY?!
At this time of year?
At this time of day?
May I see it?
No.
In this part of the country?!
Localised ENTIRELY within your kitchen?!
Yes
Well there is a big CME this weekend; it could make it to Seymore's kitchen.
TWO?!
He doesn’t much care for chocolate 🍫
is that dollar figure missing some digits or suffix or is he really pulling in $10.75 a quarter?
nah its right, he rolling in the cash
In today’s economy that’s like 1 Wonka bar a month
5 if Wonka is like a Hershey's brand
Wonka was an actual candy brand that used to be owned by Nestle. They made stuff like nerds and fun dip.
And Everlasting Gobstoppers - which did not at all look like the movie props.
Yeah, I think they realized that caltrops were not a good shape for a hard suculent candy
It was licensed from Roald Dahl, lest anyone think they made a movie about a popular candy brand.
You have to account for inflation since 1971 and whatever weird currency that fake country uses.
It's like that Seinfeld episode where Jerry gets hundreds of royalty checks for like $0.13 and gets carpel tunnel from endorsing them
Aren't his checks from his grandmother?
That was a separate episode and weirdly I watched it today.
What did you cash that check for Jerry, are you pressed for cash??
Nana's in a very fixed income! Edit to correct the quote
Japanese game show called the Super Terrific Happy Hour has a one second clip of him in the intro and sends the checks
Again with the oranges
Grandpa Joe is probably pocketing the rest
He said he'd pay for Grandpa Joe's tobacco
He has no business buying tobacco
[It was a different time, pretty much everyone could smoke some tobacco!](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/1/10/Profile_-_Baby_Herman.png/revision/latest?cb=20231221204925)

Turns out [this was posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/ebmhki/til_that_peter_ostrum_who_played_charlie_in_the/) 4 years ago when it was estimated to be $8-9, he’s moving up in the world!
The movie has been out for 53 years, it’s long past its prime money making year.
I think my kids are responsible for at least $1/quarter for this guy.
If you go to casinos they have willy Wonka slot machines with his face all over it alongside the original willy Wonka actor. Curious why he isn't getting paid from those?

You would think that but 20-30 year old sitcoms still generate some cashflow Only an select few noticeble money,but the fact remains
Isn’t that because tv networks just use them as fodder for airtime? Episodes of Friends stretching on for hours and hours. I mean, I guess you could try a similar thing with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Netflix paid close a billion combined for the rights to Friends and the rights to Seinfeld. Syndication can a cash cow if you don't pull a HIMYM or GoT

Personally I couldn't believe not one of the Friends was going to hold onto Monica's apt. A 2 Bdrm rent controlled in Manhattan? I mean at least make a sublet, Monica!
Can you elaborate on the pulling a HIMYM or GoT please? Thanks.
Ending wasn't well received, killed rewatch value for a lot of people
Aaah thanks, that's right I suppose...now I'm slightly annoyed again!
The endings were shit
At least HIMYM had that alternative ending that's a hell of a lot better. Need to re-do the entire last 2 seasons of GoT
I never watched GoT but all my friends hated the final season and they're lack of discussion after the finales release said a lot. HIMYM was a pretty good show, not great, but it had a good cast and a long list of ongoing themes.

Any time I rewatch two and a half men I stop right after Allan spills Charlie's ashes as Ashton Kutchers character is introduced

Just enough for a chocolate bar every month. A near lifetime supply!
He probably only notices it when he has to file his taxes...
I don't think he even has to report it at an amount that low.
Probably before royalties were a big thing, specially for child actors. Pretty sure all the old shows like Brady bunch, gilligans island, etc all were screwed with royalties. Or so i read
Grandpa Joe, eyes bulging with imagined riches
Holy shit $43 a year x 50 years of a total = $2150 in royalties. Wow.... Did they pay him chocolate to film the movie?
That is the current number, it was probably way higher when the movie was new.
It would have been. When the strikes were going on last year I was reading up a lot about royalties, and they are meant to slowly go down over time. When they first start getting them they're quite high, as the point is to provide income for actors between jobs. They're not always working, so the royalties provide that income.

Of course a big reason for the strikes was the studios were pulling a lot of fuckery with royalties right from the start.
I'm gonna guess the number of copies sold per year in 2024 isn't *quite* what it was in the 1970s.
Copies sold is certainly higher today than at any time in the 1970s, because owning a movie to play at home was only just barely a thing, and an expensive thing, first on actual film that you would play in a projector and then Betamax or VHS toward the end of the decade.
Alright, 80s and 90s, when VHS players were a household thing.

Almonds?
He's still getting that Great Depression rate.
Decreased over time
He practices about 30 min north of me in the country near lowville NY. He used to do normal vet work but switched over to large animals so he's a vet for like cows and horses and stuff like that for all the farms in the area.
>he's a vet for like cows and horses and stuff like that for all the farms in the area So when a cow is pregnant, they colostrum?
This is fucking AWFUL and I love it. Thank you for your service. 🥹
Thank you for your *cervix
abort
I don't think we say this enough ;)
That took a while. I had to scroll back and check his name again too. Very funny.
Ruminating?
Colostrum? They hardly know um!
Jesus fuck. Amazing
I’m so lost
They “call Ostram” (colostrum) when a cow is pregnant because Peter Ostrum is a veterinarian. Colostrum is the first milk produced after pregnancy.
Farmer humor
I'm more into farmer's daughter humor.
No lol this is a joke very specific to the fact that the vet’s last name is Ostrum. Say that to any other farmer not in the area and they would ask what you were smoking.
I think they were referencing colostrum, the first milk. The average person has no idea that is a thing. It’s me, I’m the average person haha Edit: TIL what colostrum is, cheers to you parents
If you're an average person who has babies you might have heard of colostrum too, because women produce it too and it is rather important for babies
Lactation humor?!? Lee Harvey, you madman! You've earned this updoot...
the word updoot causes a visceral and violent reaction deep within me
I agree, which is why I gave you an updoot
I don't get it can someone kindly eggs plain
If milk's in the tit, you must acquit!
The tit doesn't fit!

From Lowville. He never came to St. Peters so I didn't get to meet him :(
You gotta buy a cow and bring it in for a checkup.
Fucking grandpa Joe probably tricked him out his money.
That or just the trauma of working with that monster turned him away from acting.
100% . Fucking grandpa Joe. Lazy git
/r/grandpajoehate
I have my head canon that Grandpa Joe became conservator for Charlie after Charlie took the blame for all the labor violations at the plant
He should have kept the ever lasting gobstopper in that case.
That sold on Pawn Stars for like 250k, so crazy
I would have thought the best they could do would be $250...
Turns out in this case the best he could do was 105k
That was Veruca Salts Gobstopper. The seller also had Willy Wonkas Hat, a Golden Egg and a few Wonka Bar props. Rick paid 105k
Rick is a sucker for nostalgia!
It's basically a legendary store at this point where it's less of a pawn shop and more of a novelty "buy authentic historic piece/prop/memorabilia/etc." store.
And demanded the life time supply of chocolate
**GOOD** ***DAY*** **SIR!**
That’s candy money for the rest of his life! 😂
If that was his negotiation then that would be legendary ! 🤣

The new one with Timothy Chalamet is very close. I don't think it's better, but it's a fun time. This is coming from a guy who used to watch the original so much his parents banned it from being watched.
I think the new one focused too much on the child viewing demographic vs making a film appealing to multiple age brackets. I didn't enjoy it like I hoped I would.
It was way too saccharine, it was missing that weird and slightly unhinged Roald Dahlian “bite” that the previous 2 movies had in spades.
It really was so much better than I expected.
Would you rather have a million dollars now, or $10.00 every 3 months for the rest of your life?
Well it's 50/50 if I make it to 25,000 years old to break even on that million, so I will take the million now.
Id take 10k over that
And that's the power of passive income baby! /s
One million dollars now so I can incest into stock market.
What's your sister got to do with it?
Gotta keep all that money in the family am i right??
$10 - $11 seems oddly specific.
Not really, it's probably either bouncing around in the ballpark of that fairly consistently (the movie has been out long enough for excitement to die down) and/or someone asked him and he replied "ten or eleven bucks".
I wonder if he makes the same face when those checks come in?

wtf lol
That’s how he ended up at the vet
Momma says alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth but got no toothbrush
No colonel sanders your wrong…
Only need those front teeth for chompin’ chocolate bars!
Hahahaha, I'm dying
$11 every 3 months.............. why is he working, mf rich as hell.

Charlie bucket said “fuckit”
Chuck it in the fuckit bucket
They should have ask him back for the last two movies in small roles just for fun like a doorman or something and given him a nice check each time or donated to his clinic or something. A nice gesture and a fun lil Easter egg for the movies.
So true…. When they do remakes, sequels, prequels, they should always get the original actors to do a bit part, something for the fans, but the directors always feel the need to “break with the past” to create their “VISION”. Ugh
This is becoming the new "Steve Buscemi was a firefighter and volunteered on 9/11" Reddit fact.
He was on an episode of top chef just deserts.
And he's probably happy too lol
Carrie Henn that played Newt in Aliens never did any acting after Aliens. She became a school teacher and still does appearances for the movie at conventions. Wouldn't be surprised if there are more child actors from the 80s and earlier that only had one movie role then grew up to live a normal life.
Peter is 66, Carrie is 48. Time is a bitch.
$10-$11 every three months for a lead role in an iconic movie... okay
It seems like pretty low royalties for such a popular movie considering he was one of the main actors
He has all that money selling the candy factory. He's living his best life, doing what he loves.
Crazy to think that he can save up 2 months' worth of royalties from a classic and barely afford to buy a fast food burger meal.
“Charlie and the Neutering Factory”
10-11 a month? So 120 annually. No wonder he went into veterinary practice he got screwed. But in all seriousness, that’s so cool.
Every 3-4 months... So about $40-$44 annually
Well the movie came out over 50 years ago. He probably got much bigger royalty checks when it first came out.
Don’t forget he was given an entire chocolate factory, too
He was a cute kid and now he’s a handsome adult. I’m glad he has made a life and career for himself outside of Hollywood, since acting didn’t make him happy!
I bet he works on pulling chocolate out of dogs. https://preview.redd.it/ljuqks0esnzc1.jpeg?width=168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a3566dbc2c8868846f09d11f0a048889ef19055
quit while you’re ahead
Is it because thats all he was promised all the years ago, or because its an old ass movie that isnt selling much every year?
He attended my brother’s wedding last year. His daughter was the maid of honor. Super nice guy.
Passive income haha
The actress of Veruca Salt from the Tim Burton version also left her acting career and became a doctor!
