Hollywood's highest paid stars are box office failures

Highest paid actresses like Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston and many more might have delivered many superhit movies but a review of their movies by a leading film review aggregator site can send shock waves to Hollywood.

FOX411's Pop Tarts column has done a survey of the top five highest paid actresses' movies reviews over the last decade, 2001-2011, and the results will take everyone by surprise.

The site, Rotten Tomatoes -- which keeps track of all film reviews and tabulates a final percentage as either 'fresh' (above 60 percent) or 'rotten' (below 60 percent) -- showed that recently, Jolie is on a roll.

After calculating the profit earned over the decade from their movies, the site found that world's highest paid movie actress Jolie's average RT score over the past decade was 47 percent.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker, who earned an estimated $ 30 million over the past year, hasn't had a film with a positive rating since 2000 and her average RT score was 36 percent.

Jennifer Aniston

The average RT score of third highest-paid actress in Hollywood Jennifer Aniston was 42 percent.

Reese Witherspoon

According to Forbes, Reese Witherspoon, who took home $ 28 million in earnings between 2010 and 2011, failed to wow critics over the last decade and her average RT point was 53 percent.

Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts, whose movies were the least despised of the top five highest paid actresses, had an RT average of 55 percent.
