The biggest Hollywood names
Star power counts what a person led rather than what they appeared in: the gross of the films they were top-billed in or directed, how that run held up, how many there were, how recent, and how audiences rated them. Every figure is a percentile inside Hollywood. 1,031 people qualify.

How star power is scored
- Gross led
- Reported gross of the films the person was top-billed in (first 4 cast credits, or director), counted once per film.
- Consistency
- How those films did as a run, so one giant hit does not paper over a string of flops.
- Body of work
- How many films they have led; quantity helps but does not dominate.
- Momentum
- Gross led, discounted by age.
- Audience rating
- How audiences rated the films they led.
Every signal is a percentile among people who have led at least two Hollywood films. Figures are as reported on TMDB and Wikipedia, and are indicative rather than audited.
