Box-office supremacy

15 Aug 2007, ST, Life

THIS is the real money-maker's list according to Forbes.com.

The website came up with the ranking by taking a film's worldwide box-office and American DVD revenues, and then calculated its net revenue by deducting the budget.

This was then divided by the actor's pay package to arrive at gross income. An actor's box-office return was derived from the average gross income of his last three films.

The figures below indicate the returns for every US$1 (S$1.50) spent on the star.

1. Matt Damon - US$29

2. Brad Pitt - US$24

3. Johnny Depp - US$21
