DiCaprio as well, along with Sandra Bullock

 

DiCaprio would be true but it is really new, not so long ago j. Edgar and Blood Diamond flopped, even a runion with Wintslet in revolutionnary road peaked below 6m for is best weekend.

 

I'm not sure about this either :

You can take any of today's so called draws, they are only a draw in something that fits their image

 

How is Denzel a so called draw ?, since 2000 he opened all is wide release over 20m except one, he has a 17 on 18 domestic opening success track record.

 

Take today Dicaprio, is he only a draw in something that fits is image ? Maybe but Dicaprio and Denzel have a really wide array of possible image that fit them, they are for sure better draw in the best fit, but they can go large in the movie genre and the role they have.

Um, okay? And compared to his entire filmography, those first two were drops in the bucket.

 

And Revolutionary didn't make that much....but it don't cost that much either: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=revolutionaryroad.htm

It is not has certain has it is for Denzel, because is track record of opening anything all the time is not that long (is performance seem to vary much more movie to movie depending on their quality than someone like Denzel or Sandler in is days), but if I would have to guess I would guess that he reached that level by now,is recent track record is extremely impressive.

They picked movies that are suitable to their image. In other words Leonardo DiCaprio is not going to take on the Tom Hanks role in the circle. Denzel Washington is not going to take on a role in Independence Day Resurgence. They pick movies that are good for them.

Which star could make film like circle (reviews and all) open biggest?

 

It is a bit hard to make the mental experiment, because most big stars tend to change the movie a bit, the answer most of the time would be Dicaprio right now, but it is hard to imagine that they would not have augmented that 18m budget once Dicaprio come on board, and that no studio would have picked the movie distribution, it would have opened much higher but it would have been realistically a different release too.

 

In a vacuum, still 18m production, still a STX 25m or so domestic release, still this mediocre release date, that being a DiCaprio movie in the role of Hanks would have opened bigger, but less so that if you get the full real effect (better release date, better release, better production) that come with having him on board.

Part of being a draw is picking the right roles.  There are certain roles that fit an actor.  There are certain films, that no matter who you put in them are not going to do all that well.  Would DiCaprio help sell The Circle?  Probably, but then again, it doesn't really look all that interesting.  Part of what makes Leo and Denzel and maybe someone like Bullock such a draw is that they know how to pick films that people want to see them in.  But you can't just stick them in anything and it will sell.
