亚当·桑德勒被福布斯评为片酬过高明星之最

    American comedian Adam Sandler topped Forbes’ list of Hollywood’s most-overpaid actors, the magazine said on Monday.

    Sandler, 47, the star of recent comedies “Jack & Jill” and “That’s My Boy,” dethroned* Eddie Murphy for this year’s top list. Forbes estimated that Sandler’s last three films returned an average of US$3.4 for every dollar he was paid.

    Murphy topped last year’s list, returning an average of US$2.3 at the box office for each dollar earned.

    Katherine Heigl, who starred in the poorly performing films “Killers” and “One for the Money,” placed slightly behind Sandler, returning an average of US$3.5 per every dollar she earned.

    The list, compiled annually by Forbes, counts the last three films an actor has starred in over the past three years. This year’s list was cut off at June 1, and so it excluded Sandler’s buddy comedy “Grown Ups 2,” which was released in July and performed well at the box office.

    Forbes did not say how much Sandler earned on his last three films. But the magazine said he was one of the few movie stars who could still command more than US$15 million per film, on an “up front” arrangement.
