About Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actors 2015
Forbes use earnings estimates from its Celebrity 100 list. They look at the last three films each actor starred in before June 2015 (the end of our Celebrity 100 scoring period).
- The list doesn’t include animated films, movies where the actor appears in a very small role or movies that were released on fewer than 2,000 screens.
- They then deduct the estimated production budget from the global box office for each film to come up with a limited definition of each movie’s operating income.
- Afterwards it add together the estimated total compensation for each star on the three movies and the operating income from each movie and then divide to come up with the final return on investment number.
