He got that much because he agreed to get paid less for his role if he got a percentage of first dollar gross. He is getting an insane amount of money from the box office of this movie.

[awesomepossum]

And it all goes right into the Scientology collection plate! 

[Jotham]

The Church of Scientology stays winning snatch those coins!

[Carla Rosón]

Scientology and the nationalist/quasi-fascist propaganda won.

He's a hard-worker, yes he's controversial but that's his share

Cruise is more than just some actor at this point, he’s an industry.  His movies — while formulaic and lacking so-called versatility— bring in hundreds of millions, are typically tent-pole event films, and usually fit comfortably within (or otherwise establish) franchise titles. We can argue whether or not he’s owed $100M, but there’s no denying the man brings home the bacon for studio execs.  He knows his worth, and is paid handsomely for it… haters can seethe

No actor is worth even half that.

Basically 10% of what the movie has done in the box office.

He got 13m upfront and 10% of first dollar gross you would be correct.
