The method, in full

How the two lists were built

The same score: Star power: the gross of the films a person led, how that run held up, how many there were, how recent, and how audiences rated them.
Computed separately: Each score is a percentile inside its own industry, so Japanese Cinema names are scored against Japanese Cinema and Mexican Cinema names against Mexican Cinema.
How to read a row: Because every industry is scored against itself, rank 25 in Japanese Cinema and rank 25 in Mexican Cinema are the same fact about different places: the 25th biggest name at home. Neither number says anything about the other industry.
Who qualifies: At least 2 led films, which is what it takes for a percentile to mean anything.

Gross and rating as reported on TMDB and Wikipedia 42 Japanese Cinema names and 0 Mexican Cinema names are ranked, so the lists run out at different lengths.
