Kalel009Shel Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Did not expect a lot those names up there Second that???? Emma Stone??? What the hell has she done?? I think her only BO success has been in zombieland and Spidey and its definitely not all her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Half the people on that list are in franchise movies. Take them out of the franchise and they cannot sell on their own. Why isn't Chris Hemsworth and RDJ up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, Jennifer got less than 1 million for THG, so her ratio for that movie was about 700:1, same goes for Emma and TASM, and no doubt Mila did Ted on the cheap since it was likely a favor for McFarlane and wasn't expected to be such a massive hit. Emma's numbers could actually be much higher, but Forbes doesn't include voice work in the calculations so the nearly 600 million for The Croods didn't count. So, basically cheap upront salaries for being in big Franchises pumps up the ratios. As for why someone like Downey Jr. isn't on the list, his paydays are massive since he gets both an upfront salary and a % of the gross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't Chris Hemsworth and RDJ up there?Because RDJ has been in a lot of film that haven't earned that much. When your Taylor lautner and have only been in franchise movies, the average gross of all his movies will be high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pulled a lot of strings to get him the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
