The Numbers Bankability Index measures the worth Hollywood's fifty biggest players give to a film project. Specifically, it estimates the value each person adds to the projected box office for an average non-franchise film, regardless of whether they are in front of the camera or in a role behind it. The Bankability Index is constantly in flux, based on the success or failure of recently released movies. Regardless, it makes for an interesting Hollywood list with some surprising and some not so surprising ranks of the degree of influence one person can have on the financial fortunes of a movie.

Which of these people, widely considered the most bankable players in movies, would you most bank on to make a film a hit?

Is it necessary to have the link to the same exact page in every entry. It seems like it could be confusing for voters. Can't you just emphasize it more in the intro?

WOW!  Jeorj Euler
Thanks, this was much more than I expected. I only was looking for an idea.

I like the idea of using an archived data webpage data set, as the ranking will change. This is only way to see the poll ranks and links stay matched. It makes a lot of sense, but I had overlooked that simple fact.

I also like how you replicated the data on each person's profile card by posting their yearly averages and then hyperlinking to their key info: best known acting roles, best know technical roles, collaborators, etc. I tweaked the lay-out and wording a bit.

The only problem I still have is getting the three key numbers to display in an appealing way and in a way poll takers understand what the numbers are communicating. As set-up, the string is too long for a single line. If I use categories on one line and the numbers on a second line, they don't line up. I found three lines works best. But, in the past I have had a wrap-around issue when just using [return] button to separate each line. I found a double-spaced format solves this issue, but uses six lines for just  three lines of data. Is their a better way or a coding trick to use just three lines  or to install a <break> (as shown in the after graphic below), Anyone???

No. However, on the now-discontinued swiki-based contribution system, I've experimented with code in the following form:
[h2]Line 1[/h2]
[h2]Line 2[/h2]
[h2]Line 3[/h2]
I've never tried it on my IMDb user profile description or an IMDb list description. It did not work on the now-discontinued IMDb·Com message boards.
