Johnny Depp Crowned Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actor AGAIN; Actor Not As Bankable As Before?
Johnny Depp has been crowned 2016's most overpaid actor as listed by Forbes. This is the "Pirates of the Carribean" actor's second time to top the list.
According to BBC, for every $1 Depp was paid for the last three movies he made, the actor only returned $2.80 to the box office. Johnny Depp's movie "Alice Through the Looking Glass" gave the most contribution which placed the actor on Forbe's list, when it first began showing on the big screen in May. Depp also had the same fate last year, after the flop of his movies "Mortdecai" and "Trandscendence".
The news site also reports that Will Smith falls on the second place on the list. The actor starred in his movie "Focus" and "Concussion" which reportedly did not meet its production costs amounting to $34 million which made him get the spot. Will Smith is said to have returned only $5 for every $1 he was paid for the movies.
Meanwhile, even actors who had success with their past movies were still included on the list. Channing Tatum, which falls on the third spot, had a huge success with the movie "Magic Mike XXL," helped the movie earn $122 million with just a $14.8 million budget. But amidst the movie success, Forbes reports that the actor has just returned $6 for every $1 he was paid.
Forbes said that Channing was included on the list and landed top three because of his movie flop "Jupiter Ascending" contrasted the other movies' success.
The list was followed by Will Ferrell running fourth ($6.50 for every $1), George Clooney ($6.70 for every $1), Adam Sandler ($7.60 for every $1), Mark Wahlberg ($9.20 for every $1), Leonardo DiCaprio ($9.90 for every $1), the ninth spot has Julia Roberts (10.8 for every $1), The Guardian reports, who is the only female actor on the list because of her movies "Money Monster" and Mother's Day," while Bradley Cooper completes the list ($12.1 for every $1.)
