GTFO!!! Shrek REALLY helped him, though. They should have one for leading roles, and the list would look DRASTICALLY different.

But there are some big names up there, for sure. Recognize, people!

How do they calculate this? Is it off box office figures? Something's a bit fishy, I heard not long since that Hugo Weaving was the holder of the most successful box office draw. He starred in all three Matrix and Lord of the Ring films, sending his score rocketing.
