Emma Watson is looking at one of the biggest paydays of her career if the Disney live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast becomes a box office success.

Watson took in $3 million to play the movie's lead, Belle, but her pay will jump to $15 million if the movie has a worldwide take similar to the studio's 2014 Maleficent release ($759 million), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

It's extremely likely the movie will hit that mark, if not well exceed it (industry projections have the movie making around $245 million worldwidethis weekend when it opens in theaters). But this type of deal Disney gives to the star of one of its major releases is an interesting glimpse inside how the successful studio operates.

And since Watson hasn't cashed in major pay for any of her roles since the Harry Potter movies — in which she earned $60 million combined for the eight movies —Disney's deal likely looked good to her.
