Is Ryan Reynolds a "big" star?

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Jun 19 '09, 09:14

He's certainly a star, but he hasn't headlined a really big box office hit ever. If you don't count Wolverine (which he's not in that much), his biggest box office hit is Amityville Horror at $65M. That was definitely sold around him, but it also had the established horror film to work with too.

Responses:

No, he's in that Bruce Campbell zone of unappreciated greatness. -- nm - David Jun 19, 09:44
he is one of 2 hollywood male stars who I would LOVE to just hang out with. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:42 2
- Shot in the dark. Clooney? -- nm - Shaun Jun 19, 09:45 1
  - no, Affleck. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:46
Supposing he will be a big star on the same path as Matt Damon, where is he on Matt Damon's timeline? -- nm - Max Jun 19, 09:30 5
- Matt Damon marries BAFFL. Ryan Reynolds marries ScarJo. Reynolds for the win. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:38
- Matt Damon hooked up with the Soderbergh/Clooney/Pitt group. Reynolds has hooked up with the X-Men group. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:37 2
  - Stuck on You/Just Friends, Gerry/The Nines? -- nm - Max Jun 19, 09:41
  - is he more like Affleck? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:38
- the paths are not comparable, IMO. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 09:35
4 covers on EW. They suspect something. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:23 3
- They suspect that he looks good shirtless. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:26 2
  - Needs more research. -- nm - nubby Jun 19, 09:32 1
    - *nods* -- nm - Epiphany Jun 19, 09:47
Waiting... was the only thing I think he's done I've liked. -- nm - Qale Jun 19, 09:22 3
- Just Friends is fantastic. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:40
- He was in Blade 3; IMO, he made the movie watchable, for me. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 09:28 1
  - Agreed. The JBIEL shower scene helped a lot too. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 09:43

- I have a mild man crush on him. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:43
i don't think so. not yet. -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:20
I'm pretty sure his name has never appeared above the title in anything -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:16 5
- Looking at some posters. He's above the title on The Proposal (with Sandra Bullock) and Just Friends -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:20 3
  - Oh, OK. For me, that's a pretty useful definition of A-List -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:22 2
    - The Proposal is definitely being sold as a Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds movie instead of a Sandra Bullock/Some Guy movie. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:27 1
      - Right? -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:29
- This is likely the closest. First billing. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 19, 09:18
I think this is the summer of Ryan Reynolds. He hits the A-List this summer. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:16
not yet, in the US. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:15
so so close. i think The Proposal will launch him into big-star territory. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 09:15 2
- I think he has a lot of the intangibles, but it hasn't translated into box office yet. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:16 1
  - i actually could see a Tom Hanks-ian career for him. I think from this point on, he's leading man material. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 09:19
