Thank you for taking the time. Which is about on par almost perfectly with the race percentage That said, I wonder how they score it overall. Like, it feels like Tyler Perry should be a lot higher, for instance. And then gross is going to knock out people like Kevin Hart who got big more lately moving from a different career to acting, and then doesn't give more recent people like Michael B.

I don't even know who Tyrese Gibson is. So 85/15, better than I thought at the very least. Thank you for taking the time.</quote> Which is about on par almost perfectly with the race percentage That said, I wonder how they score it overall.

Well, right. What I mean is that gross isn't the best metric for who is a "superstar," not that it'd have an effect on the gross list itself.
