Forbes has put out their list of the highest grossing actors of 2013. The top ten from the list in order:
Dwayne Johnson $1.3
billion, mostly from Fast & Furious 6, but also Pain & Gain and whatever the G.I. Joe movie was called.
Robert Downey, Jr. $1.2
billion, from only Iron Man 3.
Steve Carell $964
million, Despicable Me 2 was his big hit this year, although The Way Way Back was a great movie my opinion.
Vin Diesel $887
million, also Fast & Furious 6 and Riddick, although 99% of it is from Fast and the
Furious 6. Don't quote me on that math, I made it up. It has to be close though.
Sandra Bullock $862
million, first woman on the list. Mostly
from Gravity.
Paul Walker $789
million, you guessed it Fast & Furious 6.
Billy Crystal $743
million, Monsters University made a ton of money.
John Goodman $743
million, same as Billy Crystal.
Chris Hemsworth $701
million, Thor made some cash. He was
also in Rush, but I don’t think that made a lot of money.
Jennifer Lawrence $700
million, those Hunger Games movies do quite well
There you have it, the only thing on the list that was new was Gravity, everything else was a sequel
or a prequel. I guess people like to see something familiar and new at the same
time nowadays. I’m guilty of it, I love
the Fast & Furious movies, and I will go see them every time they are in
the theater. I know they are stupid, but
I still enjoy them. What do you think
about this list? Do you really love sequels? These numbers are worldwide box office
numbers by the way, so it’s just not in the United States. Fast & Furious
does well everywhere apparently.
