Johnny Depp named most overpaid actor

Johnny Depp is the new Adam Sandler ? when it comes to return on investment, that is.
Depp has been named Hollywood’s most overpaid actor in 2015 by Forbes – a list Sandler topped for the last two years (he was ineligible this year due to his Netflix deal). Depp’s recent movies, “Mortdecai” and “Transcendence,” returned a meager $1.20 for every $1 he was paid on them. Depp came in second on Forbes’ 2014 list. “Mortdecai,” co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, grossed just $47.3 million (only $7.7 million of it at the domestic box office) on a $60 million budget, while “Transcendence” earned $103 worldwide, barely covering its production costs. With sequels to two big Disney franchises on the pipeline, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” his stay on the list may be short-lived. Forbes examined the last three movies each actor starred in before June 2015, excluding animated films and those in limited release.
