Let's see if anyone knows the answer..

[colt29]

Lohan

[20Four7]

My first guess is Nicole Kidman.

Given that such classics as porky's, planet of the apes etc have made over 100 million I"m not sure where to start.

That's incorrect...... Batman forever grossed almost 200 million in the states alone. Is this number world wide or US only?

[imgv94]

Lohan is not extremely famous.. I know a lot of people who don't even know who she is.

[Dark Horse]

I would guess Meryl Streep. Biggest blockbuster may have been The Deer Hunter.

On second thought, Out of Africa must have passed 100 million.

[imgv94]

Not Nicole Kidman either...

I should also mention at one point of her career she was asking for $15 mil a movie..

[onlooker]

A shot in the dark.

Sandra Bullock?

I'm not sure if she is "extremely" famous.

[tacomax]

My first guess is Nicole Kidman.

She was in one of the Batman films which took in a shedload.

[20Four7]

I would guess Meryl Streep. Biggest blockbuster may have been The Deer Hunter.

On second thought, Out of Africa must have passed 100 million.

Yep worldwide and the devel wears prada hit 125 million in the US and 325 mill world wide

[imgv94]

Wrong on Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock as well..

I'd say this actress is more famous then Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock.

[tacomax]

Must be Scarlett Johansson. Unless you're thinking of someone even more famous.

[imgv94]

Waaaay more famous than Scarlett Johansson..

Should I give a clue? Or let you guys take stabs?

[onlooker]

I was going to say Sigourney Weaver, but I'm not sure if any of the Alien movies grossed that much.

[Dark Horse]

Marilyn Monroe

[tacomax]

Helen Mirren? Judi Dench?

Narrow it down, though. Are we talking about a currently famous actress or one from the 1920s when film receipts were nowhere near the size they are now?

[rjt721]

How about Jennifer Lopez?

She's never been in a good movie in her life.

WINNER!!!!





Jennifer Lopez is the correct answer.

[onlooker]

How about Jennifer Lopez?

She's never been in a good movie in her life.

You didn't like Maid in Manhattan?

[imgv94]

I kinda liked U-Turn..

Can't stand Mr.Over Acting Sean Penn though..

Fun stuff guys.

[tacomax]

I think the question should have been "what actress am I thinking of".

[rjt721]

You didn't like Maid in Manhattan?

I'm a big Gigli fan, looker.

Anyone seen J-Ho lately? She looks horrible... way past her prime.

[20Four7]

OK you should have said in the US. Maid in Manhattan grossed 155 mill worldwide. Antz almost hit 100 million US and was over that world wide. and Anaconda hit 136 million world wide

[Dark Horse]

I'd say this actress is more famous then Meryl Streep...

[tacomax]

My thoughts also. By those rules, then it should clearly be Britney Spears. She's more famous than Ms Lopez.

[rjt721]

and Anaconda hit 136 million world wide

Really? It might be the worst movie I've ever seen.

[Dark Horse]

Marilyn Monroe did cross 100 million?

[tacomax]

Marilyn Monroe did cross 100 million?

No idea without checking, but 100 million today is a heck of a lot less than 100 million 40+ years ago. And by that reckoning, there will be a lot of actresses more famous that Jennifer Lopez who never got anywhere near 100 million.

Yeah I should of mentioned domestically..

Here is where I received the info from.

[experte007]

That's fun thread and I never would have guessed that it is JLo we're talking about. It's even hard for me to think about her as an actress since she is so much more successful with her music.

[imgv94]

Yea this was a fun thread..

I can't believe she got paid $15 mil for starring in "mother in law" and didn't have to show a titty or showcase a clam shot.

Right, way too much for a comedy however one of her better flicks lately, I think.

[20Four7]

Here is where I retrieved my info

http://www.the-numbers.com/people/JLOPE.php

I was going old school trying to look up actress's (who I think are more famous than JLO) and I was surprised at how many did hit it up with one big flick, such as On Golden Pond for Katherine Hepburn etc. Marilyn Monroe hit it big with Some like it Hot which grossed 25 mill in the US (no figures given for worldwide). So she never hit 100 mill either.
