Forbes has identified the most unprofitable Hollywood stars
Forbes magazine continues to sum up the financial results of the outgoing year. At the end of last month, experts from the famous economic publication named the most disastrous films of 2016, and now they have decided to publish an annual list of the worst actors in Hollywood in terms of value for money.Movie stars can get anti-rated both because of the box office failures of films with their participation, and because of the prohibitively high salaries. Analysts at Forbes look at the last three projects in their careers, but do not take into account cameos, cartoons voice acting and films that were released on a wide distribution on less than two thousand screens. Johnny Depp became the leader of the list of the most overpaid actors in Hollywood for the second year in a row. The last three films with his participation have allowed film studios to return only $ 2.8 from every dollar spent on his royalties. The name Depp on the billboard is no longer capable of luring the audience to cinemas as before. Suffice it to say that over the past few years, several films with his participation have failed at the box office. At a certain point, a joke even arose on the Web that Johnny is only able to make a profit for the studio Disney . At first, however, the Lone Ranger western failed to recoup its budget, and this year the $ 170 million blockbuster Alice Through the Looking Glass followed suit.  The bosses of House of Mouse will probably have a lot of sleepless nights awaiting the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, since numerous problems in the career and personal life of Depp risk affecting financial perspectives of the fifth part of the film series about the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow . However, Johnny himself already has a backup plan to save his reputation: the fantasy saga “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” promises him a chance to leave the list of the most unprofitable actors.  Will Smith is on the second line of the rating. Since the analysts of Forbes take into account only films released before June of this year, the actor has not yet been credited with the box office of Suicide Squad. Without the super villainous movie comics, the financial statistics of the last three projects with the participation of Smith look pretty depressing. Hollywood studios were only able to recapture $ 5 from every dollar of his salary. A serious blow for Will was the failure of last year's drama The Protector, which earned only $ 48 million at the worldwide box office on a budget of $ 35 million .  On the third step of the podium is Channing Tatum , who is still haunted by his participation in the disastrous blockbuster Jupiter Ascending. When Forbes analysts finally stop taking into account the Wachowski sisters' failed project, the far more successful Super Mike XXL will remain in the last three of Tatum films. At the moment, experts do not consider Channing to be a financially attractive actor: lately, film companies have only been making $ 6 from every dollar spent on his salary.  The Top 10 Most Overrated Actors by Forbes also include Will Ferrell, George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper.
