Julia roberts!

[dirrty]

Anyone else missed not having a new Julia roberts film to watch? Saw her on broadway in may and she was amazing... got a standing ovation and everything. Those bad reviews and headlines that i heard before i went were so OTT. Outside the theatre there were about 20 reviews all saying how brilliant she was. Just shows not to believe the tabloids. Anyway she's the voice of charlotte in the new Charlottes Web film due in december this year and has just started filmin Charlie Wilsons War with Tom Hanks due for release next year. Its a political drama. How do u think they will be together as leads?

An overpaid actress... she's good, but highly overrated.

Charlie Wilson's War has Tom, Julia, & Phillip Seymour Hoffman (all Oscar winners); it's being directed by the brilliant Mike Nichols (Oscar winning director) and the screenplay is by the incredibly talented Aaron Sorkin (he has like tons and tons of Emmys). You can't have a better pedigree than that for a movie! I can't wait til Xmas 07 to see this!

 

[dirrty]

Yeah its got oscar written all over it!!

 

[Oriental1986]

No not all coz neither I like her work or her looks. I'm happy that she has faded away which she deserves; I think she's over hyped.

 

[dirrty]

She faded away through her own choice so she could look after her children. Unnlike many other celebs she never did photoshoots in glossy mags with her kids nor did she palm them straight off on to a nanny when they were born!
She is the most successful actress ever and always will be... box office figures prove that!
She is a true movie star in the old fashioned sense and i admire her even more so for the fact that she isnt all over the papers every single day for pointless stories!

I love Julia, but unfortunately she no longer is the Box Office Queen of Hollywood. Did you know that crown now goes to............................Dakota Fanning????

Yep, that's right. Ms. Fanning's movies combined have grossed more than any other female in Hollywood history! Who knew???

I assume you are joking.

Julia Roberts currently holds the #9 spot among all actors and actresses at a total gross of $2.12 billion (in the US). She is #1 among actresses. The next highest actress is Cameron Diaz at #18 with $1.72 billion (that includes her voice work in the Shrek series though).

Dakota Fanning has grossed $582 million.

Dakota Fanning's just gross.

True, yes...but Dakota is not the sole star of most of her movies. She just happens to be in movies with A-List actors.

Reese Witherspoon is actually the current box office queen.

Reese's Total Movie Gross: $667 million

Higher than Dakota, lower than Julia, Cameron, Drew Barrymore, Jodi Foster, and many more.

You're counting movie gross which is not the best gauge for box office power. For instance--Jodie Foster was just recenly in Inside Man which grossed a little under 90 million. But you can't solely attribute that to Jodie. Denzel and Clive also had something to do with those numbers. Same can be said for many of Drew's, Julia's and Cameron's movies. Cameron is NOT a box office draw--just look at In Her Shoes. Great movie, yet it still bombed. Like someone pointed out--I highly doubt people went out to see Shrek because it starred Cameron Diaz. Same with Dakota in War of the Worlds.

A better gauge is their salary--which is based on how much of a box office draw they are as a single performer. Which is WHY Julia Roberts was named the box office queen in the first place. Because she was paid 21 million dollars for Erin Brockovich which at the time was the highest any woman had ever been paid for a movie.

Reese just secured a 30 million dollar deal for her next movie and THAT is why she is the new box office queen.

I can agree to that. In terms of pay at the moment, I suppose Reese is the most powerful actress.

I just thought we were talking about total gross because that is what got this whole thing started. Nobody ever mentioned paychecks before.

Gawd, a $30 million paycheck? Way to go Reese! Most of the boys don't even make that much.

 

[dirrty]

Julia will no doubt be offered more than $30million soon as soon as she starts starring in movies again (next year) then she'll be the queen of pay cheques as well as the current box office total queen. Isnt resee witherspoon a strange choice to have the biggest salary at the moment? i hardly know any of her films apart from walk the line and here in the uk nobody hardly knows her by name, not like if u mention Julia, Jodie, Cameron etc.

You guys didn't get Legally Blonde & Sweet Home Alabama over there? Those are some of her big ones.

 

[xyboyms]

Remember a few years ago when Reese was named the Next Julia???? Now Rachel McAdams is being called the Next Reese who's going to be the Next Julia........I wish Hollywood would give all women room to become stars. It's like they can only handle one at a time..........

Re: Julia Roberts Kills Again !

Well, none of them have committed suicide. And if they have, they devoted fewer than three pages of their suicide note to implicating me in their suicide.
