The Top Grossing Actors, Actresses Of 2016

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It was a big year at the movies and an even bigger year for some of the industry's brightest stars, when it comes to their earnings.

On Thursday, Forbes released a list of the highest grossing actors and actresses of 2016. The top grosser of the list was Scarlett Johansson. Johansson was one of the stars of Captain America: Civil War and also appeared in Hail Caesar.

To come up with the list, Forbes used the global ticket sales of the actor's who were top billed, or had the most screen time in their film. Animated movies were excluded.

No. 10 on the list was Philadelphia native Will Smith. He starred in Suicide Squad and also has a film, Collateral Beauty, which is still in theaters. Smith wasn't the only member of the Squad to make the list.
