Top 3: Highest Paid Hollywood Actors
It is no secret that in the era of superheroes, remakes, reboots, and franchises, the commercial prospects of the film are dictated by the weight of the brand — not the name of the star starring in it. But it is also important to remember that there are still actors in Hollywood who are a pretty reliable guarantee of success in themselves (that is, regardless of whether they belong to the “Avengers”).
Dwayne Johnson
Average gross in North America: $ 97.5 million
World’s highest-grossing film: Fast and Furious 7 (1.512 million)
The owner of the flattering nickname “Viagra for Franchises” really works wonders: “Fast and the Furious” alone with his arrival not only became much prettier but also earned three billion. And while other action heroes, from Schwarzenegger and Willis to Neeson and State, alternate between good luck and failure, Skala has almost no mistakes — in general, reliable as a rock.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Average gross in North America: $ 97 million
World’s highest-grossing film: Titanic (2.129 million)
The unprecedented triumph of “Titanic” for a long time discouraged Leo from blockbusters, but the charisma of a movie star (not to mention fate) cannot be fooled, and in recent years almost any role of DiCaprio — in Scorsese and Tarantino, Luhrmann and Nolan, regardless of the genre and release dates — starts as an acting challenge and ends with another super hit.
Will Smith
Average gross in North America: $ 127 million
The highest-grossing film in the world: “Independence Day” (817 million)
However, no one can compare with our today’s winner: out of twenty of his films that were released in the world, ten returned from there with at least $ 300 million, eight earned at least one hundred million, and one more (“Ali”) brought Smith Oscar nomination. Will is next in line to make his debut in the popular DC Comics cinematic universe, so if he will give up his habituated throne of being a popular actor, then perhaps by inheritance.
