Most of the time, actors are paid a salary agreed upon before hand. Sometimes, particularly in the case of particularly desirable actors, they may also be promised a percentage of the movie’s profits. Although math works differently in Hollywood than it does in the rest of the world, so sometimes a movie that was incredibly profitable turns out to have actually not made any money and anybody who was promised a percentage gets nothing. Sometimes that can vary based on the person, where the big-name star who was promised a percentage gets millions while the original author who was also promised a percentage gets nothing.
