Will Smith was voted the most bankable star in Hollywood in a survey of industry professionals by Forbes.com, according to AP.
The financial magazine`s Web site gives the actor a score of 10 out of 10 for his bankability in its first "star currency" list, compiled by surveying more than 150 industry professionals.
Following Smith on the list: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio, who all tied for second with a score of 9.89. Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson rounded out the top 10.
Smith`s superior box-office clout has been long established. He`s known for "owning" the July Fourth weekend box office with films such as "Independence Day" and "Men in Black," and has had few flops.
The 40-year-old actor recently topped the annual poll by Quigley Publishing Co., which has surveyed movie exhibitors since 1932 on which stars generate the most box-office revenue.
The Forbes survey, which acknowledged that it was "subjective," also took into account a star`s ability to attract financing for a project. The list was released Tuesday.
Smith`s latest film, "Seven Pounds," received terrible reviews, but still earned $70 million at the domestic box office. His summer superhero blockbuster "Hancock" grossed $228 million.
