Will Ferrell is most overpaid star: Study
EW.com: Movies —
Will Ferrell is Hollywood’s most overpaid star, according to an annual Forbes.com study that examined the average return of investment for each dollar spent on an actor’s salary. Forbes claims that for every dollar Ferrell was paid, the comedian’s films earned $3.29 — the lowest amount among Hollywood’s 100 biggest stars. Most of the blame can be placed on Ferrell’s summer bomb, Land of the Lost , which grossed only $64.8 million worldwide, but had an estimated budget of $100 million. Below is Forbes’ list of the 10 most overpaid stars, with each actor’s average return on ...

Will Ferrell Is Overpaid (That Depends On Your Definition) According To Forbes
:: The Playlist :: —
... Forbes magazine has released their annual list of Hollywood's most overpaid stars, and sometimes-funny funnyman Will Ferrell is number one. The rankings are calculated by factoring in the production costs of an actor's movies over the past five years against how much boxoffice, DVD and other revenue they generated in order to come up with an operating income for each film. That number is that stacked up against an actor's salary and there you go. All in all, every $1 spent on a Will Ferrell movie, it will bring in a $3.29 return. Ferrell had a particularly forgettable 2009 ...

... Frat Pack brought back the R-rated comedy and were the kings of mainstream comedy. Movies like Old School , Anchorman , and Wedding Crashers killed at the box office, and the biggest cog in the machinewas SNL-alum Will Ferrell. Since then, the group kind of petered out, with Judd Apatow's gang taking the reins, and while Ferrell has continued to have big hits (both Step Brothers and Blades of Glory made more than $100 million), his price tag is not worth what it used to be. Forbes has printed a list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors, using a salary to returns ratio, ...

This time 12 months ago, Will Ferrell was sitting pretty as one of America's most bankable comic actors, renowned for his pitch-perfect impression of George W Bush.

... Finally, you've probably seen Forbes' list of Hollywood's most overpaid stars by now. This isn't something I think about a lot given that my favorites tend to be people whose salaries aren't reported. But I do think lists like this are problematic. They underline obvious truths (no star is foolproof... even when they stick to formula and some people are just lucky / some people are grossly overpaid because they happen to star in franchises that would be hits without them) and often obscure some real truths. ...

... Bonnie and Clyde , but hopefully with a better ending for all involved. Since they robbed more than 70 banks, expect plenty of montages of heists and spending sprees. Mulligan is rightfully riding high after her sure-to-be-Oscar-nominated role in " An Education ," and we see her doing well here, but not if she liberally employs the pose (and the haircut) from the poster. The art is being used to appeal to potential distributors, but with its cheesiness and McGregor's high ranking on Hollywood's most overpaid list , we wonder if it's worth banking on. It's directed by Tristan ...

... I can’t imagine a situation in which I would not be a Will Ferrell fan, specially after his brilliant rendition of “Freebird” on Conan’s last episode last week, but the comedy star doesn’t seem to be doing as well as he once was. His box office numbers have declined a bit since his ELF days and in November Forbes Magazine named him the most overpaid actor in Hollywood, mostly due to the horrible performance of LAND OF THE LOST, which cost $100 million but earned only $65 million worldwide! ...
