But if we're talking today most of those names aren't major anymore. Sure, they're huge when you look at their overall career, but in 2014 just a couple of them are huge draws.

[RichWS]

DiCaprio isn't that big of a box office draw. You usually recognize his movies as quality movies, not as big hits.

 

With the exception of J. Edgar, all of his films in the last 5 years were pretty big hits. Gatsby and Wolf made $740M combined.

[ChD]

We can safely say that most people around the world know these following names: Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Morgan Freeman, Eddie Murphy, Bruce Willis and a few more I can't name right now cause I'm in a hurry

Nah. 

[Moviefanatic]

Great for Cap. I want this to be number for the entire month of April

[kayumanggi]

#Frozen has been unstoppable in Japan. 6 wks at #1 w/ almost no signs of slowing down. Top mkt outside US, $150M possible.

Rdj needs to make an iron man 4 with the mandarin. Disney needs to push another iron man over stuff like Dr. Strange and Ant man. Stick with the things that'll make money. Thor, iron man, hulk, and captain america.

Why?

At least they don't bomb like Depp's do.  He is a bigger draw than Depp.

[Michael Gary Scott]

There doesnt need to be another ironman until they cast another one. I think RDJ is done playing ironman after avengers 3

[Jack Nevada]

Why?

Filmbuff is all about dat moneeeh.

Thats starting to look like a pretty conservative estimate

[baumer]

Since 2010 when DiCaprio did Shutter Island, with the exception of Hoover, which is a political film, all of his films have done very well.  So how can you say he is not a draw?

Ridiculous. Frozen is gonna pass IM3 ww, lol.

[Olive]

Frozen is gonna make close to 200M in Japan!

It will be around 150M after the Golden Week holiday..

It kind of makes you want to write to WB and ask them for a job.  Your sole duty is to advise all these fat cat producers and studio heads as to whether or not it's a good idea to pay an actor a certain amount of money.  I'd do the job for 100K a year plus bonus.  Think of the money they'd save.

What was the last big Hollywood movie in Japan and what did it gross? Was it F6?
