For the movies, at least, because they're mostly doing quite well for themselves, but research shows that "
There is no statistical correlation between stars and success":
Superstar economics, which has been used to explain the astonishing fees of top lawyers and the skyrocketing pay of star chief executives, dates back to the insight in the late 19th century of the British economist Alfred Marshall, who observed that "the relative fall in the incomes to be earned by moderate ability ... is accentuated by the rise in those that are obtained by many men of extraordinary ability."
Though if there's Scarlett Johansonn, I'll probably watch that movie, even that "Perfect Score" the other day. That's totally not the point though..
