The comedic legend remains a household name, but unfortunately for him, that doesn't mean every household wants to go see his movies. Eddie Murphy tops Forbes' annual list of the most overpaid stars in Hollywood for the second straight year. Among his recent box office flops: Imagine That, A Thousand Words, and Meet Dave. Those three films earned $45 million, collectively, which is $10 million less than Ted made in its opening weekend. Forbes estimates that for every $1 dollar he's paid, Murphy nets an average of $2.30 at the box office.
