23 thoughts on “Career Adjusted Domestic Box Office Leaders

  1. Some great man once said that his aim in life had always been to learn at least one new thing every day. Today certainly I have achieved that goal as I have learned that Donald Crisp is a greater star than

    Al Leach
    Harry Lillis Crosby
    Bogie
    The Chuck of Steve and me.
    Mega-grossing double leading actor Oscar-winning Hanks
    The Greg of Flora and me.

    and the list goes on. For once though I feel sorry for Thins. Not as great a star as Donald Crisp! For once her mentor on this site has let her down and perhaps subconsciously revealed to us his assessment of her true worth as a box office star in all those Gable/Bill Powell/Al Leach films.

    I mean Donald bigger than Bing/Humph/Archibald! He may have been greater than The Thin Woman but that he is greater than the likes of those 3 Box Office “Beasts” I don’t think any knowledgeable movie buff would imagine – with the possible exception of that acquaintance of The Work Horse who seems to feel Minnie Driver should be listed among the Greats.

    However we must excuse him because if you’re close to WH chances are that you’re being spoon-fed all kinds of strange and wonderful things about who are the greatest stars and critics etc.

    1. There is though I think a serious case for keeping rankings of supporting actors separate from those of leading actors; and Donald and Thins [along with Lassie and Asta] might well realistically head lists of the former! I look forward to potentially WH producing separate lists some day [for example when even HE has said everything that can be said about Joel].

      I like the twin-track approach of Wikipedia in the matter. Here’s what it currently has to say about Mr Gimme More who in my view is a neglected “Beast at the Box Office” to use a Cogerson description of Dino Paul Crocetti.

      “Motion pictures featuring Bruce Willis have grossed enormous sums at North American box offices making him the ninth-highest-grossing actor ever in a leading role and twelfth-highest-grossing when supporting roles are included.”

      Wiki is quoting rankings based on ACTUAL [ie not inflation adjusted] box office earnings. Still when one considers the massive sums earned today by the great franchises – and how those sums are credited to extensive ensembles of thespians – those are fine ranking positions for Demi’s ex to have achieved.

      I have long argued that ranking lists of Greats tend to unfairly underrate/ignore Willis. Even when box office is adjusted for inflation Willis’ Top 30 earning movies worldwide considerably exceed the takings of for example Spencer Tracy’s top 30 global hits [$12.5 billion to $10.5 billion respectively] according to Bruce Cogerson’s figures on the personal pages of the two actors; and Tracy has been one of the greatest box office stars of all-time – as I am sure HE would have conceded!

    2. Hey Bob. Lots of great points. This is not a list of the “greatest” actors or actresses….just a list of box office grosses. The greats do well in all the main statistical categories. This is just one of those categories.

      As for Demi Moore….she gets some respect here. She almost reached the Top 500. Not bad since her peak did but last too long.

      As for the list….I think it is a fun list to look at….but it is just raw stats. One can make an argument about the merits of where each star ended up …but that is the fun of lists like this.

  2. Wow only 31 pages to do. You also have 390 other people done for book 3. But no Gabby Hayes, Bessie Love, Arthur Tovey, Bess Flowers, the Bowery Boys, Blondie or anybody on the list below.

    Hhttps://www.imdb.com/list/ls021379096/?ref_=rltls_3ayes

    1. Hey Dan…. I remember a conversation with Steve years ago….we were thinking we were running out movie subjects to talk about……I think we were both wrong. Wow….me and a third book….never thought I would write a single book….lol. I actually have three ideas for three books. Idea 1 – same type of book…..but with only classic stars…about 400 of them. Idea 2 – book with only categories….Baseball movies, Star Wars movies, Thin Man movies….that would be about 300 subjects. Idea 3 – A yearly one….go from 1927 to 2023 (or whatever year I get around to it.

      Interesting list of busy actors….that many go right over my head. Can you e-mail at cogersonmoviescore@gmail.com?

        1. Hey Flora….probably a classic book will be the next one….so far the second book is getting a better response….as you do not need to be a film fan to find somebody you like…but for film fans….it completely ignores the golden age. I think Clint Eastwood is one of the few people in the second book that actually made a movie in the 1950s. Heck most of the people in the book were born in the 1970s and 1980s. Good stuff as always.

  3. Another fascinating list Bruce. Listing movie stars and supporting actors together.

    Good to see Charlton ‘Behold His Mighty Hand’ Heston listed so high.

    Elvis didn’t do so well though.

    John Wayne no.1 from the classic stars no arguements there.

    Myrna Loy still Box Office Queen, tops the actress chart. No other female star comes close, wow. I like Myrna so let it be so. Better hide this page from Bob though. 🙂

    Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!

    p.s. In alphabetical order I can use this list for ideas on future video subjects. 😉

    1. Hey Steve…thanks for checking out this massive list….an alphabetical one would be cool…..though pretty much that would be on the site index already….the only ones missing links are the few that do not have UMR pages….many are in your new book….which I know you are carrying around with you everywhere….lol. As for Loy…..Bob will have lots of reasons why she is not really the top female star….but we will have to agree to disagree……her total is the greatest….but she falls when looking at average box office per movie. I figured you would be happy with Chuck sitting at #22. As for Wayne…he is behind Jackson…but Wayne was the lead many many more times than Jackson. Good stuff as always.

  4. A couple of weeks ago I was listening to the Dan Patrick Show when he wondered how much his movies had grossed in comparison to another actor. As they were discussing this question, I went to UMR and discovered we did not have a list of the Career Domestic Box Office Leaders…..well we do now. I have included all the thespians who have earned more than 1 billion in adjusted domestic box office. Dan Patrick sits in 746th place…just a tick better than 2 time Oscar winning actor Sean Penn.
