Some actors still demand big paychecks even when their box office isn't necessarily delivering on the promise of their casting.

Forbes released its list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors. It includes some big names like Jonny Depp (at No.1 ), Will Smith, and Brad Pitt. And everyone on the list is a man.

While Depp helmed one of the most profitable movie franchises in "Pirates of the Caribbean," his more recent efforts like "Mortdecai" and "Transcendence" have bombed.

How did the magazine come up with this list?

It took the rough operating incomes of the actors' last three significant films (box office minus budget), then divided those numbers by the stars' estimated salaries for the films. The resulting numbers estimate how much the actors returned on the investment into them.

Here's who's on the Forbes list of Hollywood's most overpaid movie actors.
