OlderMoviegoers Avoid Angelina Jolie?
Not likely but The Gallup Organization, a supposedly widely recognized barometer of American opinion (I’ve never heard of it), recently conducted a survey asking Americans “whether or not they make a special effort to see movies starring 13 different Hollywood A-listers.”
Americans gave Tom Cruise a giant “thumbs down” clocking in at 34 percent. Angelina Jolie came in at a distant second, with 18 percent of Americans saying they avoid seeing her movies. That’s 180 out of 1003 votes.
Who received the most positive reaction of any of the stars in the poll? Tom Hanks! Two of his most recent films include The Da Vinci Code and The Terminal.
Pictures include Angelina Jolie recently leaving her NYC midtown hotel (supposedly The Regency Hotel at Park and 61st).

Wow stunning!
I don’t base my movie going experience on some poll I never heard of. AJ is a great actress and I will see any Movie she is in. I still love that Coat.
well heres to hoping that another thread doesnt go down hill…..quicker than the x’s career……gmd jr’s must ruling the world……that must be it……
Who’d they ask? Friends of Jennifer Aniston? They should look at box office results.
The latest Gallup poll shows that Cameron Diaz is the least loved (with only 9%making an effort to watch her film). Why did the Holiday come second this weekend ang grossing only slightly less than Mel Gibson’s film (with 26% positive rating).
1. Apocalypto $14,166,000
2. The Holiday $13,500,000
well Angelina is a fantastic woman but not a good actress, at least this is my opinion…
No one really believes in polls anymore. The don’t trust election polls or any type of polls because people lie all the time in them. With that being said, War of the Worlds did very well and people said it would suffer because of all the TomKat crap at the time and it didn’t. MI3 was still a big movie for Paramount but not as big the previous two and the studio blamed it on Cruise and his antics. It was an excuse to get rid of him which they had been wanting to do for awhile.
i have to agree with Jennifer, i think Angelina is just beauty and nothing more. Until now i don’t remember to like any of her films…
That poll doesn’t take into consideration the tons of people who love Angie and the great work that she does for the less fortunate. Everyone is entitled to their opinions though.
Come on jj, we really had a rough night and this is how you thank us for surviving. We discussed this to the nth degree several days ago. Whatever…..I guess thanks but no thanks…. BBL…………..
She is also rocking those sunglasses and boots. AJ gives new meaning to the word, “SUPERSTAR”. The whole package is fierce.
She looks beautiful! I would see whatever movie she’s in. I wasn’t polled. lOl
I agree with the poll, i’m avoiding see Cruise’s and Angelina’s movies, they are boring and they are not good actors
she has certainly won a lot of acting awards including Oscar, so some people must think she is talented.
Count me in as one of them who do. I love Angie the actress, mother, activist, lover, human being….
She is amazing!
maria aguanta and aniston tanorexic! 3 golden and an oscar plus brad pitt under her belt!not a good actress?maybe you watch cartoon all the time!
Gallup Poll: Tom Hanks Tops With American Audiences, Tom Cruise Draws Negative Response
PRINCETON, New Jersey — Bad news for Tom Cruise.
A new Gallup survey says Americans gave him a giant “thumbs down” compared to other top Hollywood stars.
Asked whether or not they make a special effort to see movies starring 13 different Hollywood A-listers, nearly three times as many — 34 percent — said they avoid Cruise’s pictures as those who said they seek them out — just 12 percent
Cruise had the most negative reaction of any of the 13 stars in the poll. Angelina Jolie clocked in a distant second, with 18 percent saying they avoid seeing her movies.
Tom Hanks had the most positive reaction of any of the stars in the poll. Forty-four percent said they make a special effort to see his pictures, backed up by another 48 percent who said they consider seeing his films. Only 5 percent said they avoid them.
Mel Gibson doesn’t seem to have been hit too hard by his recent anti-semitic tirade and drunk driving arrest. Gibson’s “Apocalypto” was the #1 movie at the box office this weekend. The Gallup survey shows 26 percent make an effort to see his movies, with 15 percent saying they avoid them.
The survey also asked 1,003 adults to consider Robert DeNiro, Julia Roberts, Will Smith and more.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to say all along. Very few people vote on these polls. Most of the people who watch movies or just say most Americans don’t write on blogs, don’t vote on polls, don’t really care one way or the other about these movie stars as long as the movie is good or looks interesting, they’ll go and see it. Tom Cruise at the height of his craziness last year was in Mission Impossible 3 which was number 1 on opening weekend with over $40 million and raked in. It might have been lower than what the studios expected but Tom Cruises action movies have always raked in over $100 million. MI3’s total box office which I don’t think is that terrible to look at.
Domestic: $133,501,348
+ Foreign: $262,671,555
= Worldwide: $396,172,903
This is why I don’t understand when people come and say that a movie will flop because of who is in it. No one knows how a movie will do because there are always surprises, and to me that is a good thing
Just talked to Boders in my neck of the woods .
They dont have the new Vogue put out yet .
Any one here with subcription that has recieved
there copy yet.
For me i would rather see beautiful people in movies. I don’t want to see ugly people. that’s why I havent seen any of Aniston’s movies.
SORRY ( yet?)
The survey ONLY included 1003 people! How does that small number give them an idea of what the public thinks?
come on people, we all not Angie is not so good actress as that, and please her movies are so few interesting, her act skills are limited in my opinion, and i’m not a Jennifer Aniston fan ok?
I agree. Who did they ask Jennifer and her friends. Everybody I know loves
Angelina’s movies. She is a great class A actress.

You do know that Mel isn’t in the movie, don’t you? He wrote, produced and directed and financed. The fact that it made $14MIL is amazing because it’s not a mainstream action flick or a comedy.
How can you have never heard of Gallup?
They run the most famous Presidential poll…
