In landscape where an actors/actresses bankability is diminishing due to the rise of franchise and IP drawing power replacing it, which movie star is the best box office draw working today?

Easily Dwayne Johnson. Even his 'failures' like Baywatch and Skyscraper still turn a profit.

Zoe Saldana, Leo DiCaprio, Dwayne Johnson, Denzel Washington, Kevin Hart. Tom Cruise still global boxoffice star.

What about Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, or Robert Downey Jr. ?

I am pretty sure they can't touch Dwayne Johnson overall, at least not lately as Will Smith was solid at one point in the past but his glory days have passed and Downey Jr seems largely limited to Iron Man and Jolie, without checking, I would assume her peak has passed to.

I always used to think the biggest Box Office draw in the recent past was Jackie Chan....the majority of the audience went to see a Jackie Chan film because it starred him...they generally new what they were getting and didn't really care what it was about.
Now the only two I can think of that have that same kind of pull is Dwayne Johnson and perhaps Jason Statham...you have an expectation of what you are going to get and that is a reason a lot of the audience may go see the film.
