A number of months in the past, the Harris Ballot launched its annual listing of our ten most popular movie stars. Who were the Prime Film Stars of the 1940s statistically? Chinese movie star salaries have been skyrocketing these days as their nation’s annual box office has exploded from barely $200 million a decade in the past to a projected $6.8 billion this yr.

I perceive this list is accurate per the supply, however my gawd, I’ve a lot of hassle with the way the boxofficemojo web site calculates “main” roles! Read how Vulture calculated stars’ worth in 2015 — and if you wish to see how changes within the numerous factors can impression an entertainer’s standing, have a go at the sliders on the left.

Joey Ansah could not have the mainstream recognition of some others on this listing however he’s a giant name in the martial arts film business, displaying off some unbelievable moves and direction in his films. However within the wake of Aaron Sorkin’s latest developing manner quick on the box workplace, trades have been questioning whether or not Fassbender held the film back with American viewers.

Ti Lung (full name Tommy Tam Fu Wing) is a prominent Shaw Brothers actor and martial artist with a very various vary of roles over the previous 50 years. All these actors have billions of dollars price of films, whereas Episode III did not even gross $1 billion.

Nice list but I think Richard Norton ought to be larger on the listing, however I could also be just a little bias since I’m Australian and grew up watching his movies. Pretty certain the amount the actors receives a commission does not affect how much the movie grosses.
