I wasn’t surprised at all seeing Adam Sandler at the top of this list. His type of humor seems to remain stagnant in the ever evolving comedy genre. While some comedic actors have adapted, he seems to “stick to his guns” and not stray too far from his comfort zone. I was actually surprised to see that Ryan Reynolds is more profitable than actors like Denzel Washington, Reese Witherspoon, and Matt Damon. While this is based on averages, it still shows that 2013 is just not the year for some of these stars. Regardless, it seems like even the worst of the group is still pulling 3 times their salary in profit, so at least they’re still somewhat profitable.
