Has Denzel done any popular candy movies?
Possible candidates include:
The Siege, Crimson Tide, The Bone Collector.
He also has
The Preacher's Wife
under his belt in the romance category, but that was a black movie, so it counts for half.
Wait!
Training Day!
It was his biggest opener too.
I'd just assumed he was bankable in the general market. But I think he has a) critical acclaim b) the ability to put black butts in the seats c) heartthrob status. But that's all.
Millions of men would like to be so unlucky, but still.
Earned Run Average. For all values where the shit being thrown = horsehide, and the sticking to a wall = not being hit out of the park.
Not just franchise--ACTION franchise. The movies have to be crowd pleasers in Europe and Latin America and Asia as well. That's why Schwazenegger was so huge.
Chris Rock said there were only four stars. And then he named Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, and Denzel Washington.
I didn't say Keira Knightley is a movie star. I said, according to the list. Dude. Her cash flow doesn't lie. I'm aware that none of those were really her movies, though, anymore than I'd say Orlando's movies were his.
I think Chris Rock is wrong. Clint Eastwood? Seriously? As a huge star today, despite the awards last night?
I think Chris Rock is wrong.
Hell, yeah. Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington are both
good,
but they're not starrier than, say, Julia Roberts. Clint? Long and glorious history, critically acclaimed present -- takes more than that to make a star in my books, if you're only picking 4.
Has Denzel done any popular candy movies?
He does seem to have an affinity for the random, empty-cal action movie - VIRTUOSITY, RICOCHET, MAN ON FIRE, etc. The first two are dumb, but a LOT of fun (only saw the original Scott Glenn version of the third).
I also think TRAINING DAY was one of those that crossed over because he played the antagonist instead of the hero.
Her cash flow doesn't lie.
Ah. Then Anthony Daniels is an international superstar.
Then Anthony Daniels is an international superstar.
Apart from no one knowing his face, yeah.
We need a site that shows how much the performers make. I wonder if he made mad bank for the last three flicks.
The first two are dumb, but a LOT of fun
I love
Virtuosity.
And I want Russell Crowe's purple suit. It's a very fun movie.
