Most American movie theaters have been dark since late March, leading major studios to postpone big-budget releases.

Since many movie stars earn large bonuses based on box-office performance, the lack of new theatrical releases has made room at the top of the pay scale for TV icons like Sofia Vergara, who tops our new ranking of the world's highest-paid actresses with $ 43 million.

Hollywood veteran Angelina Jolie ($ 35 million) and Viola Davis ($ 15.5 million) —who made the list for the first time this year — are also on the list.

In all, the ten highest-paid actresses earned a combined $ 254 million in the 12 months leading up to June, down 20% from last year.

If she falls on the second step of the podium, the

Maleficent

star

is still doing well with $ 35.5 million raised during the year.

However, she is neck and neck with Gal Gadot who is in third place with just $ 4 million less.

Unequal

Behind the top trio, we find in order Melissa McCarthy, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Nicole Kidman, Ellen Pompeo, Elisabeth Moss and finally Viola Davis who closes this top 10 with $ 14 million in revenues this year.

On the men's side, the similar ranking released some time ago put Dwayne Johnson in the lead for the second year in a row with $ 87.5 million in revenue.

More than double, therefore, of Sofia Vergara, illustrating that pay equity is far from being achieved, in Hollywood as elsewhere.
