They’ve shortchanged the strapping Irishman on both counts. He’ll make more than double that when the film is done in worldwide theaters. I’ve heard Neeson got paid $12 million upfront for Taken 2, (he got $2 million for the first). 32 weeks 2 days ago via jackiechan

Critics UtilizeTheir "Particular Set of Skills" on Liam Neeson's "Taken 2," and the Aftermath Ain't Pretty

When “Taken” was released four years ago, it was a surprise hit, grossing $145M at the domestic box office despite mixed reviews. With a modest budget of just $25M, it was probably one of Fox’s most profitable films of 2008. It also turned Liam Neeson into an action star. Although I don’t think the title or the premise lends itself well to sequels, that’s didn’t stop Fox from cranking out another one.
