baumer Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Emma Watson is definitely A-list.She's the reason Perks was able to get made. :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 If Lawrence was so A-list, House would have opened higher than it did and finish higher than it will. She's just an actress that got cast in a really popular story. If Hayden Pantierre had been cast in THG, would she now be A-list? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't think Reese is anymore and I think Streep has been for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) I think the problem in debating this is pinpointing when and where careers aren't at the top of their game anymore, which is difficult, because people can quietly fade and others can break out after a few quieter years.For example, Witherspoon single-handedly opened movies like Sweet Home Alabama and Legally Blonde, but she doesn't seem to be headlining much anymore. On the other hand, Channing Tatum is in a position right now where I think he can open any movie, so he's going to be A-list material soon.

Crusader Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Tatum has insane potential I agree IF and that's a big IF he manages to keep at it for the next 3-5 years he's gonna make it One hell of a year behind him for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 how do you all feel about Damon, do you feel he deserves to be called A list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I guess he's A-list to a certain extent btw here's Tatum's big challenge - an action movie that stars him and top bills him also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Damon is A-list, of course.Tatum is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 In terms of box office, Damon falls short of A lister, so is George Clooney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Give Tatum til 2014 and he will be on the A-list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 In terms of box office, Damon falls short of A lister, so is George Clooney. It's not only about box office, though, as I thought we made clear before. George Clooney has the tag "the last true Hollywood icon", and if that isn't an A-lister, then I don't know what is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Mark Wahlberg is always forgotten in these discussions. He is on a hot streak right now with Ted, The Fighter, Contraband, Other Guys and Date Night. Got another January test with Broken City which looks great as well.

JackO Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Before Ironman, Downey is a C-list. Clooney can not open a movie well really, but somehow he is always considered A lister.Downey Jr. is A list now. He got pure garbage Due Date to 100M, and is lead of 2 monster franchises.

He got disregarded. He's hot right now, but he's not A-list. Every director is not dying to work with him. Don't get me wrong, I love Wahlberg, so it's hard for me to say, but it's the truth.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yes, Downey now is and that's why he is there. We forgot Tatum. He is more A lister than Gosling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Mark Wahlberg got paycheck 10M+ even back 10 years ago. He is more A l-ist than Christian Bale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Christian Bale should be no where near an A list listing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
