Whatever dude. Halle Berry moves tickets, it's that simple. Perhaps not
as much as Adam Sandler but that's not who's she's being compared to by
movie producers. You seem to have some real hostility towards the
woman. Halle Berry pulls down close to 15mil per film at this point,
unlike executives, basketball players and many other professions,
actors and actresses pretty much get paid based on what producers KNOW
they will bring back to the cash register. Jim Carey used to make 20mil
a film because they knew he'd guarantee that much back in ticket sales
and likely more. Now he'd be lucky to pull in 10. Julia Roberts is the
highest paid woman in Hollywood, she's pretty much the ONLY 20 million
dollar woman out there, for name recognition, fan attention etc, Halle
Berry is in the top 5 women for box office draws of ADULTs and she has
crossover appeal. She got an oscar because she fucked a white man on
screen and conservatives got off on seeing their private fantasy made
real (dressed up as art) and liberals wanted to pretend that movie was
about racial redemption when it was really soft-core porn. If that
movie was about Forrest Whitaker fucking Julia Roberts or Demi Moore
doggie-style for 22 minutes there's no way in hell that movie would've
been as embraced as it was by most white movie goers. In fact, it
wouldn't have ever been made. Lastly, there are a number of famous
Hollywood types who are big draws but thier movies aren't major hits at
the box office. Name a SUPER BLOCKBUSTER that Brad Pitt has ever
made...He's VERY popular and by most critical accounts he's a pretty
good actor. So, talent isn't always the final arbiter....

Did you mean name a SUPER BLOCKBUSTER Brad Pitt has *never* made?

Mr and Mrs Smith only nearly made $500 Million.

Oceans Twelve (an ensemble film true) made $360 Million

Troy nearly made $500 million.

Oceans 11 made $450 Million
