Star Power of Popular Actors

Famous actors almost guarantee a successful movie. This is because popular actors have huge following and they are known to give quality performances. Angelina Jolie can open any movie and movie executives know it. She took a small movie that wasn’t getting that much press, last summer’s “Wanted”, and turned it into one of the biggest movies of the summer. Popular actors all have their box office bombs.

Take for instance, the blockbuster comedy flick Legally Blonde. The movie is a showcase of Reese Witherspoon’s acting prowess. The script although funny is a bit uninspired. The stereotypical ditzy-blonde storyline is an overused plot in Hollywood.

The movie attempted to marry fun (represented by the blonde) with stern Harvard. Surprisingly, the somewhat preposterous notion actually worked. Thanks largely in part to Witherspoon’s masterful interpretation which carried the weight of the entire film and made all the difference.

Her onscreen magic waxed eloquent on what would have otherwise been another drab blonde story. Witherspoon’s performance makes the whole story believable even in her seemingly audacious video essay clad only in a sequined bikini. In the hands of a lesser actress, the movie would have come out trivial, at most – or boring, at the very least.

This is one secret on what makes a movie successful. True star power is determined by how you can bounce back with your next movie. The total take of a successful movie can also be affected by star’s personal lives. If they are in the tabloids, for better or for worse, it will help at the box office. If they are talking about your love life then they are talking about you movie opening next week.
