The way they determined this:
And I went through the slideshow and wrote it down for you in 10 to 1 order instead of just starting with #1.
10. Sarah Jessica Parker -- A $7 return for every $1 paid
9. Ben Stiller -- A $6.50 return for every $1 paid
8. Denzel Washington -- A $6.30 return for every $1 paid
7. Adam Sandler -- A $6.30 return for every $1 paid
6. Nicolas Cage -- A $6 return for every $1 paid
5. Jack Black -- A $5.20 return for every $1 paid
4. Sandra Bullock -- A $5 return for every $1 paid
3. Reese Witherspoon -- A $3.90 return for every $1 paid
2. Katerine Heigl -- A $3.40 return for every $1 paid
1. Eddie Murphy -- A $2.30 return for every $1 paid
Denzel is there mainly because he demands such a large daggone amount. Nic Cage because he makes a gajillion movies and they just happened to do this at a time that he hit a slow spot. And...well...Poor Eddie.
The way they determined this:
Methodology
Hollywood pays its biggest stars millions of dollar per film. Some are worth the money. Based on their last three projects, these 10 stars are not. We used data gathered from our Celebrity 100 research and Box Office Mojo to calculate how much, on average, each star's last three films earned at the box office per dollar of pay. Think of it like a star return on investment number.
