There are something like ten actors who make $20M/film. Even if I thought that was a bad thing, I wouldn't be too choked up over them benefiting if it meant everyone else would. As for being the most vocal, that's part selection bias (you're more likely to hear about the big names) and part a good thing, in terms of deflecting attention away from those with more to lose.

I wish I had more time to see if you were one of the folks earlier in the thread saying that a Christmas release showed Paramount had no faith in the film and no-one would go to see it then.
