Wahlberg had something of a disappointing year in 2008. He starred in The Happening, which grossed a modest $64.5 million domestically. In October, he failed to turn Max Payne into a hit, considering that the Fox release brought in only $40.7 million.

Franco helped turn Pineapple Express into an $87 million hit last year, and he fell just shy of snagging an Oscar nod for his supporting turn in Milk.
