When you're a top star, you earn a lot of money--but along with that bigger paycheck comes bigger expectations. You're supposed to be able to "open" a movie--meaning you can guarantee a decent opening weekend box office draw.

If you're a star and your movie flops, it looks that much worse when you're earning a paycheck north of $15 million.

That's what happened to Will Ferrell with Land of the Lost. The big-budget film based on the '70s kiddies cartoon was supposed to be a big hit. But with an estimated $100 million budget, it earned only $69 million total at the global box office. That flop puts Ferrell at the top of our list of Hollywood's Most Overpaid Actors. For every $1 Ferrell was paid, his films returned an average $3.35.

1. Will Ferrell

2. Eddie Murphy

3. Denzel Washington

4. Seth Rogan

5. Tom Cruise

6. Drew Barrymore

7. Matt Damon

8. Vince Vaughn

9. Adam Sandler

10. Jim Carrey

At least Megamind looks good.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      We've tried to get too fancy when we clearly lack talent all around. Stop worrying about RAS scores and elite athleticism and just draft guys that can play. We've wasted picks on raw prospects with potential instead of drafting IOL, then paying guys on the inside instead of spending it on defense where it was necessary. Chinn goes to another system and does really well and Evero couldnt even figure out how to get him on the field, and when he was he was out of position so it made him play like ass. We just seem to do the most ass backwards things over and over again. FFS, this really cant be that difficult can it?

      It's by design. Because DC doesn't trust Bryce to make audibles.

      I don't know how someone could watch that game for 3+ quarters and think that Bryce wasn't a problem.
