We all know the major stars make major bank in big-time studio movies. But how many are really worth the big bucks?
There are fewer and fewer movie stars that can be counted on to open a movie with huge numbers these days. Nowadays, the biggest movies tend to be superheroes and other franchises that are more about the source material than they are about who’s starring.

Ditto for movies like The Hunger Games and Twilight, whose actors become mega-stars after their roles in the movie, not vice versa.
