- I understood your point before you iterated it :) - crash davis Feb 25, 14:56 3
  - I get that you know, I just thought it's a fun data point. -- nm - Reagen Feb 25, 14:56 2
    - it is fun, but even more fun to me is by this chart Kathy Bates is a bigger movie star than Julia Roberts -- (link) - crash davis Feb 25, 14:58 1
      - heh...that Titantic box office really throws it for her. -- nm - Remlik Feb 25, 15:16
I'm surprised no one mentioned Aykroyd until this. The guy's got volume if not quality. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Feb 25, 14:33 3
- He's still in the ST doghouse for Blues Brothers 2000 -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 14:35 2
  - Indeed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 25, 14:38
  - But... Crystal Skull Vodka! -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Feb 25, 14:36
to do this properly, you would have to a) adjust for inflation b) include DVD sales and the like - Reagen Feb 25, 14:29 15
- Plus, you'd have to factor in the bedget of the movie. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 25, 15:13 1
  - Pluto Nash is the all time "It shouldn't be possible for this to happen" movie. -- nm - Reagen Feb 25, 15:14
- or just ask executive producers what they're willing to pay the actor before they see a return. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 14:43
- It's not like Bill Murray didn't also do bit parts and cameos. He's measured on the same scale as the others. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Feb 25, 14:38 3
  - To be clear, we're not debating strictly box office, right? nm - Dignan Feb 25, 14:44 2
    - "What's the bigger number, 6 or 8?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 25, 14:44 1
      - 8 (to be fair, I saw the answer on celebrity Jeopardy). nm - Dignan Feb 25, 14:46
- sure, and I believe John Ratzenberger is the 4th most successful actor in history -- (link) - crash davis Feb 25, 14:35
- It's more like... no one's willing to tell him he's not. -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 14:32 1
  - Not even chuck norris. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 14:32
- I'm just pointing stuff out to the people who automatically assume Sandler leads at the box office -- nm - crash davis Feb 25, 14:30
- if you include DVD sales Murphy crushes even more thanks to the Shreks I bet -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 14:29 3
  - Mike Myers likes this. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Feb 25, 14:34 2
    - yeah, but Eddie has the Shreks, Doolittle, the Professor stuff, his old stuff... -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 14:34 1
      - Beverly Hills Cop trumps almost everything, but Myers killed with the Austin Powers DVD sales. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Feb 25, 14:35
RDJ 3.381 billion Bill Murray 2.856 billion Mike Myers 4.408 billion -- nm - crash davis Feb 25, 14:27
