3 stars affect how much a movie makes: Will Smith, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp

Technically there is a fourth, an actress whose casting actually reduces profits. Per these guys, anyway:

I'm dubious. Clooney and De Niro are up there with Cruise. Cruise needs to make some smaller, more nuanced movies. His choices in the late 90s were more interesting.

He might be top 5 in the last 30 years.

Since 1996, Decaprio has been in a big Ticket film on an average of about

Leonardo DiCaprio is big time but he's not at the top. His average gross

Good call, but I'd probably say, Cruise has had a longer list

Downtown

I think hanks is more consistently good.

of course it's a preference thing...

Downtown

And cruise couldn't have pulled off the emotion in Captain Phillips

Not counting acting ability...

Downtown

Must really chap his hide that he's never won an Oscar.

Hanks has acted in, produced, directed, and written more.

Hanks killed it in the 90's though.

Certainly not with his longevity. Arnold,Sly,Ford,Mel,Bruce all had their day.

The loser actress has to be Aniston

8/1/15 12:04am

My first thought was Heigl

Gustav

He is the only guy who has consistently headlined in the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s.

Cruise hasn't been great in the 2000's either.

MI series has been solid(besides2). In fact I think in general the 2000s have...
