Isn't it the other way around? Getting paid $13.60 for every $1 is more than $1.20 or am I being stupid?

film grosses $13.6 for every $1 paid to the actor

They make a point of showing that it's all men, cuz of sexism.

There's the opposite for the "best value" stars - their movies making a bunch but their salaries not keeping up:

Chris Evans (who one could argue lucked into his blockbusters)
Mila Kunis
ScarJo
Gwyneth Paltrow
Emma Stone

I don't get it.

So Depp is the most overpaid actor because for every $1 he earns, the studio gets $1. Tom gets movie studios more bang for their buck, because for every $1 he earns, the studio gets $13.60, so he, Tom is a worthy investment.

It seems a bit complicated.

Adam Sandler must be here with his constant flops

johnny deserves every penny

Ah I get it now

Johnny is an amazing actor, he deserves his money AND THEN some. I've seen that many carry some of the worst movies I've seen and I still find them watchable for him alone (that movie with angelina jolie, for starters)
