Squaremaster316 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) 4 years ago, Angelina Jolie starred in the Phillip Noyce directed spy thriller, Salt, where she played an accused Russian sleeper agent attempting to clear her name. While the movie was a hit, it ended up hitting a brick wall in the form of Christopher Nolan's mindbending blockbuster, Inception. This was far from surprising to many filmgoers and fans, though some did attempt to make a case for the opposition: http://movieline.com/2010/07/12/5-reasons-why-salt-will-be-bigger-than-inception/ This year, while Jolie is set to direct her second film based on the life of POW survivor and Olympian Louis "Louie" Zamperini, it also marks the year of her greatest box office hit to date, Disney's Maleficent, currently standing at over 200M domestic and 700M worldwide, a far larger gross than her 2010 spy thriller. Nolan is also set to make Box office headlines this year with his new upcoming Sci-fi odyssey film, Interstellar. While the two films are nowhere near in direct competition with each other, some people question whether this year is where Jolie's DIsney villain turned Anti-hero truly does outearn WB's golden child director, or if Nolan can best Mrs. Pitt once again. Thoughts? Edited July 23, 2014 by Squaremaster316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Tele already made an Interstellar under Unbroken Club, so I suppose this is a bit redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 yeah i bet they can't fucking stand each other. They'd strangle each other if there weren't camera on them every time they met. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I couldn't care less. I mean, it's a neat in terms of trivia and history, but I've never seen them as rivals. Edited July 24, 2014 by Dark Jedi Master 007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I did think about this. Salt probably could have done something closer to 50/150 without Inception around. I'd say Maleficent should outgross Interstellar but who knows, I think the bigger story will be Unbroken vs Interstellar in terms of awards attention & box office in the like.

Jack Nevada Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Weird thread but Interstellar is going to beat Unborken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Out, I think both will hit 200m though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
