James Franco near top billing


even on the movie poster on this site, he's 3rd billing ahead of Ray Liotta and Chris Evans, despite the fact that he's only in it for about 2 minutes in one scene.
If it was an indie film with a largely unknown cast and he was the only established name in it, I could understand (if not condone) them implying that he was one of the main players in this in order to sell tickets, but it's not as if Ray Liotta and Chris Evans aren't household names and arguably bigger names than James Franco. OK maybe back in 2013 Chris Evans wasn't as well known as he is now, but Ray Liotta?
Anyone know how this happened?

Maybe he was a producer, I'd have to rewatch the movie to have better insight. I remember really liking it, though.
