Tatum made headlines in 2016 after landing a spot on Forbes’ list of Hollywood’s most overpaid actors, where his box office return was striking $6 for every $1 he earned. This was primarily because of the poor performance of his 2015 sci-fi film, Jupiter Ascending, which impacted his overall box office return figures.
