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.

Ive never seen it. My mom loves that stupid shiz. she watches the housewives and all that other crap. You can see the commercials and see they do is scream and fight...then get drunk, and scream and fight some more.

Jersey Shore is a funny show. It's a bunch of stupid idiots living with other stupid idiots. What's not to love?

[LifeisaGarden]

There's only one character Denzel can play well and he plays that same one in every movie I've ever seen him in.

[Dpantherman]

really? Glory, The Hurricane, Malcolm X, Training Day, Remember the Titans, Antwone Fisher, John Q. none of those are the same.

I forgot about Philadelphia and Mo Better Blues
