According to documents acquired by TMZ, the 10-year-old actress was given unlimited WiFi in her trailer as part of her deal to star in Will Gluck's film. Wallis, who at 9 became the youngest Best Actress nominee in Oscar history for her work in "Beasts of the Southern Wild," was also paid $750,000 to appear in "Annie" (incentives and percentage points could raise her total income from the feature to well over $2 million).
"Annie," which also stars Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, is due out in theaters on Dec. 19, 2014. Wallis spent much of the fall filming the feature in New York:
Shooting on the street today was different. A lot of people were watching, but I had fun.

She'll play the orphan character alongside Jamie Foxx (playing Daddy Warbucks) and Cameron Diaz. Will Smith and Jay Z will be producing the movie which is set for a Christmas 2014 release.
TMZ reports the producers for the show had to get approval from a judge for Q to star in the movie since she is a minor. She will be getting paid:
-- $750,000 base salary
-- $750,000 bonus if the movie does super good
-- 5% of profits
-- 5% of all merchandising
-- 10% of sound track album royalties
And get this....according to her contract, her name can NOT be listed lower than second position, so it's likely her name will appear before Cameron Diaz. Ha!-- $750,000 bonus if the movie does super good
-- 5% of profits
-- 5% of all merchandising
-- 10% of sound track album royalties
Wallis is far from the only young actress to earn big money for her work. As TMZ also reported, 16-year-old Chloé Moretz was paid $500,000 for the film "If I Stay," and she'll also receive 15 percent of the profits from the film.
#Errrrrr....gat a question for you lil Miss Wallis, how do you pronounce your first name???

**Sigh** Now All very impressive, but Mama Q, please ensure she graduates from school and college VERY important if she wants to become the first female black President of US of A, also ensure she's well grounded, so she doesn't end up like failed child stars hooked on drugs after Tinsel Town (Hollywood) bosses , drops them unexpectedly like HOT POTATOE! Few words are enough for the wise to listen, therefore take heed Mama Q
