Is the concept of a "movie star" finally dead?

Are there any names left that can guarantee box office success just by showing up onscreen?
>>
>>70578280
None of them are jewish, checkmate.
>>
Not with Tom Cruise still around.
>>
>>70578355
Or Based Leo.

>>70578397

I was going to make a similar topic. I think the concept of movies being big news is over. I'm probably a million years late in realising this but it hit home a lot lately because a lot of movies are crap.

I think movies are like vidya now in that everything has to be safe as hell massive blockbusters or tiny low budget stuff. Everything in the middle gets crushed financially

>both anti-Trump leftist cucks

Meme magic is real
>>
Leo, The Rock, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg (maybe)
>>
Tom Cruise
>>
>>70578355
this
also give me good cruise movies, just watched Top Gun and Oblivion
>>
>>70578280
These guys are old and busted.
I'm old and I don't care about actors or actresses, and I'm sure young people don't give a shit, either.
Hollywood knows the good times are over, and they are cannibalizing their talent to make dumber movies.
The only actress I've followed over the course of their career is eva green, who's def not part of the hollywood establishment.

>>70578280

The idea of studios having an array of bankable movie stars that you can just sort of insert into anything to boost it's domestic BO by +20% is dead.

However now you have a different concept in people like The Rock who essentially are their own self-marketed hype generator that can get projects made, and make those projects successful.

Literally not new.

That's just movie star playing producer.
>>
>>70578280
The need for movie stars ended sometime after 2001 when studios realized that franchises don't need A-listers to be successful at the box office

It's strange that Clooney and Depp have been in Hollywood for like 30 years.

It seems like Hollywood won't let any newcomers in even Bradley is in his 40s now
>>
who are the biggest flops in 2016?
>>
>George Clooney insults Trump and endorses Clinton
>flops miserably and nobody takes him seriously anymore
>Johnny Depp makes fun of Trump in a parody
>gets the dogs of his girlfriend almost killed, has to apologize on national tv, girlfriend leaves him and takes his money, his career slowly dying and his face getting fatter and wrinklier

all is good eh
2016 has been best year so far
>>
Doesn't Leo still generate a pull? Maybe the guys in the OP are just out of touch now.
>>
>>70578912
oh >>70578397 already said it
>>
>>70578912
Leo picks good projects and only does 1 movie per year
>>
>>70578643
In the past but the Rock has been in nothing but hits the last five years or so
>>
>>70579018
More like he's good at smelling for intellectual directors and blowing them for a role
>>
>>70578809
Pretty much everyone's eyes are asymmetrical.
