Curious to see Di Caprio "draw" with a movie that scores F

He's too smart and savvy to star in one.

true. but to be fair both Shutter Island and Wolf of Wall Street did score a lowly C+. Both did very well at the bo even legs wise. Wolf of Wall Street kept on going even after the holidays and Shutter Island did 3.1x.

"F" as in general, I did not see people vehemently hating on either those movies or walking out...

True. He built over the years the cred "he is never in bad movies", Tom Cruise had that too but I think he lost it. Hanks too

DiCaprio is, in fact, the only movie star on the planet.

 

 

Will Smith is an overseas draw 

 

 

Denzel can be a decent draw doemsticalky but his movies are too expensive 

[That One Girl]

Will Smith, Denzel, Hanks, and The Rock are all draws in the right roles.  JLaw too really.

That's because he keeps getting his 20 million for each movie he makes.

 

His movies aren't expensive. Usually half of the movie's budget is going to pay him.

[grey ghost]

Star power is only effective in a compelling role.

 

Examples: Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast. Scarlett Johansson in Lucy.

 

 

[grey ghost]

Denzel is one of the most consistent draws.

 

90% of his stuff from the last decade fall between 65 and 100 m.

 

He, Hanks and Dicaprio are anomalies these days.

[Alli]

star power is build over a period of time. you have to earn the public's trust. leo dicaprio is known to star in good movies, that's why his audience keeps coming back

Just saw Mother.

F isnt a low enough grade

Down there with Citizen Kane as one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made.

I predicted this.

[The Futurist]

I draw circles in the sand.

I am a draw.

HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT.

DiCaprio is in a league by himself...mofo can probably star in teletubbies and still cross it over 100M mark...

who owns the rights to Teletubbies because now I wanna see this movie.

I'm still amazed that audiences embraced The Revenant. Oscar nominations aside, we're talking about a grim, graphic 157-minute film with long stretches of minimal dialogue.

 

DiCaprio takes enough risks that I won't be surprised if he takes on a film that divides audiences to a degree as large as mother! For as much as the internet loves it now, The Wolf of Wall Street got a C from CinemaScore.

The "Dicaprio raped by a bear" headlines are responsible for The Revenant's s box office success.

[That One Girl]

People at my school love The Revenant.  It just ended up being one of the rare films that was widely acclaimed amongst both "cinephiles" and the GA.

[a2k]

Revanant is one of the bigger bo surprises in recent years. It gets left out of the 'unexpected bo' talk but it's right up there.

40 ow and 4.55x multiplier (even subtracting the 1.3m it made in limited release before going wide) was insane for a movie like this.

The general audience are cinephiles. They go to movies because they like them.  

 

Time to go see It again since I'm a cinephile of horror movies 😉

Well, TWOWS also made well over 100M+ DOM, as did Shutter Island and The Aviator, two movies that I also don't imagine as easy watches for general audiences, yet they made a shit ton of money. Leo can pretty much get away with anything he wants. His last bomb was J Edgar, and in any sane world, a Leo DiCaprio/Clint Eastwood joint would not be a bomb, the movie was just mismanaged to my knowledge (in a lot of ways, including quality).

 

Though, right now, he doesn't look to be taking a risky way as DiCaprio seems to have his sights on either a Da Vinci or - if rumors are to be true - a Stan Lee biopic, maybe both. Whichever he goes with, a lot of money will be made.
