Netflix confirmed this week that Brad Pitt will earn $40 million — or 2,859,185 Chipotle burrito bowls at current menu prices — to star in and produce "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Director David Fincher will receive $20 million (1.43 million bowls), while Tarantino collects an additional $20 million for licensing his script. The film's total $200 million production budget converts to approximately 4,653 Tesla Model 3s, which the studio says will not be used as props. Principal photography begins later this year. Pitt's representatives did not respond to questions about whether he prefers chicken or steak.
