Kings and Queens of the Hill
What makes a movie star a movie star?
Judging by results in 2013, it’s no longer
just their name; so far this year, movies
led by Melissa McCarthy and Ethan
Hawke have performed better than those
led by Vince Vaughn and Will Smith. The
landscape for leading men and women
is changing, but one thing has remained
consistent over the last decade: Money
is still money, and $200 million is a lot of
money. In an effort to suss out which movie
stars are still kings and queens of the hill,
HuffPost has compiled global box office
data from the past decade for a group
Hollywood’s biggest names. Which star
has the most films with more than $200
million in ticket sales worldwide? Well, not
Ethan Hawke. — Christopher Rosen
