The Two Billions
In the past five years of New Hollywood, several actors have jettisoned to the top of the money making heap. While some names have done well at the box office as expected, others have risen from the murky depths, in order to become household names. What three people have had their films gross more than two million credits total in the New Hollywood era, so far?
Ryan Gosling – 2.6 billion. He’s been in just three films of the last six years, and yet all were certified hits with Centurion Studios. His films – Cave Girl, Jeremiah, and Smallville are all mass gross films. As a result, no one has made more money than Ryan Gosling at the box office in recent memory.
Jake Gyllenhaal – 2.25 bill – Having been cast as Superman in Smallville, Jake saw the second highest grossing film of the era built around him. He’s been in four other films as well, and works very hard at his craft. As a result, he is box office gold and already cast in two more Smallville films.
Anna Paquin – 2.047 billion – Fresh off two Oscar awards for both supporting and best actress, Anna isn’t just an awards darling, but a box office magician. With Smallville on her roster, as well as four other films, we’ve all fallen in love with Rogue.
Honorable Mention – Colin Ferrell is at 1.986 billion with his seven films.
(No director or producer has more than 1.5 billion in ticket sales).
