In the latest ranking of Hollywood’s most bankable actors, Tom Cruise has dropped from the top ten for the first time in a decade. He placed 11th with 80 points. His latest film “Valkyrie”, grossed $200 million worldwide.
Tom’s good friend Will Smith topped the list, scoring 96 out of a possible 100 points. Smith’s last three movies averaged $459 million in worldwide box office and has climbed the list, ranking 12 in previous rankings.
The list is compiled by author James Ulmer, whose book “Actors Hot List” ranks the box-office clout of 1,400 actors. The rankings are based on a survey of more than 100 movie buyers and sellers. A former editor and columnist for the Hollywood Reporter, Ulmer resumed publication of his annual list this year after taking a year off.
Who else made the list? Following Will Smith is: Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe.
Can Tom Cruise climb the list again and make it back into the top ten?
