Quote from: Promethée on Jul 11, 2012, 08:02:02 AMI think you guys overestimate K.Stewart, she was just part of a successful franchise that was already huge in its book format.Teen girls went in mass watching the dull love story with vampires not the actress.If we follow your logic The Woman in Black should have made huge numbers because Harry Potter was in it.Quote from: ThisBethesdaSea on Jul 10, 2012, 09:24:27 PMAnd how exactly does it work? The numbers you see reported at the box office isn't the money made by the studio.and the marketing/ advertising budget isn't included, and these one must be huge.

Quote from: Darth Vile on Jul 11, 2012, 12:15:12 PMWhat do you mean "so"? No one is suggesting that just because Daniel Radcliffe is in a movie, any movie, that's it's going to generate the same box office as Harry Potter. The point is that certain actors will pull in extra revenue due to their 'star' status. I'm really not sure why you're making it a debatable point. That's why 'stars' get big cash incentives to appear in movies. I'd suggest that in terms of box office Snow White has the bigger leading stars.

QuoteBut then again Pattinson's presence didn't boost anything for Cosmopolis, so...
