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).

Angeline Jolie won her Oscar, the highest accolade voted by her peers. She is definitely a good actress.
Jennifer Aniston remains a “prove me” actress. Her movie, Derailed, Rumor Has it, and Friends with money all flopped. The only box office she had is “the break up” (TBU). But remember, she fabricated a relationship, as the “are they or arent they a couple ” to generate movie ticket sales. In spite of that, the TBU still grossed less than Mr. and Mrs Smith (MAMS).
Let’s analyze the numbers for the USA market
opening week— TBU 40M
opening week —MAMS 51M
difference — 11M
final domestic gross — TBU 118M
final domestic gross — MAMS 186M
difference — 68M
Looking at the opening week, the difference between TBU and MAMS was 11M. One would think the difference for the final grossing should be around 11M. But the difference is much wider (68M).
What does that tell us?
It means the hype on the movie TBU discipated fast after the opening week and had “no legs”.
Finally, the movie MAMS gross even better overseas. For TBU, despite Jen and Vince travelling to many countries to promote the movie, the gross revenue pale in comparison to MAMS. To look up the exact figure, do a search at google.
ok forget what i wrote…
Thanks bluemoon!!!
I will see anything that Angie does. I have in the past and I will continue to do so.
I am also looking forward to Angie and Brad working together again.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, bluemoon, that’s so cute and I absolutely love that they won’t let the media or anyone deter them from doing what they want.
Well the people who have never heard of Gallup are idiots. It is the gold standard of research institutions. They are very highly regarded by a number of industries and very much on the up and up. Doesn’t suprise me one bit. You all may worship her, but she grates on a lot of people’s nerves.
Asked if she plans to act again with Pitt — her co-star in the 2005 movie, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” — Jolie laughed, “Who’s going to watch the children?”

so he is JUST the babysitter. interesting….
To give me a break:
Oh please, give me a break (pardon the pun), Angelina probably had a BMI of 21 in the movie GIA, with a body fat percentage of 25-26%, which to me is FAT.
TO alana:
Thanks for your concern. As mentioned, I have a BMI of 18, all I am saying is that, with Angelina’s BMI of 17, she’s totally welcome to our club. Totally fab!

thanks for the article….LOL….braddy is not only the daddy but the nanny and he is loving every minute of it…..you go BAMZS….we love you…. :-D
Ed you’re an ass. No Body Mass Index of 18 changes that.
An ass is an ass is an ass. Whether you have one or not.
Hmmm, it’s my guess that you grate on 18% of the people you know. Doesn’t suprise me either.
The Good Shepherd only has 20% at rottentomatoes.
There are only 5 reviews (1 fresh, 4 rotten).
Let’s hope next reviews are good and that the boxoffice rocks!
:sad:

Thanks Bluemoon! I love that quote. They are such a tight family! I am sure that Angie was avoiding the question and being cute in the process. Seriously, if they want to do a movie together, watching their children could be a problem as they are so devoted to them and to spending quality time with them. Now that I think about it, she was probably being serious. It has nothing to do with Brad being a babysitter. If you know anything about them, you know that they share in caring for their children!!
To hmmmmm
NO he is there father. Im sorry if you didnt have one but most people if they are fortunate have two parents
ALSO, we HAVE heard of the gallup poll but this does not seem to be the same.. as this gallup organization..
“I made a point to not let it change the way I live my life…”
“I carefully plan my holidays or where we go or where we stay or things like that…”
“I’ve had so many offers to take MY children to Disneyland…”
“Taking MY kids trick-or-treating or things…”

well dumbsh*t, 82% would see Her
Angelina Jolie is an amazing actress and a wonderful human being.
She is beautiful inside and out. The children she adopted and Shiloh are so lucky to have her for a mother. Brad and Angelina found each other…:)
I love her in “The Bone Collector” opposite Danzel Washington.

People like you are the reason young girls and women develop eating disorders.

For those of you who don’t think AJ is a good actress, don’t go see here movies. I love to watch her in any movie. When you really like an actor you’ll watch anything they are in, it’s that simple. I love Colin Firth and will watch any movie he is in just so I can see him. He so adorable! And, he’s made a dog movie here and there.
I love the range of Angie’s movies, from Life or Something Like It to Gia (AJ was phenomenal in that movie).
Girl Interrupted was so good I totally forgot it was Angie.
Beyond Borders was interesting. I was watching it today and thinking about what was going on her life - she was married to Billie Bob and about to adopt Maddox. She looks so different in that movie.
MMS - that movie so rocked. I couldn’t wait to get the uncensored version. I have watched it so many times. I love it. Especially the music. The mombo song is great. I got both soundtracks for my birthday!!

Jolie living life her way, despite media
NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (UPI) — Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, a favorite of the paparazzi and the tabloid press, says she won’t let prying eyes of the media affect her work or her play.
“I made a point to not let it change the way I live my life,” Brad Pitt’s girlfriend said in New York, while promoting “The Good Shepherd,” the new movie about the establishment of the CIA.
“I carefully plan my holidays or where we go or where we stay or things like that to try to ensure some quality of life that’s private and nice for the kids,” she said. “We simply don’t let it affect us.”
Jolie admitted that taking her three youngsters to popular family destinations can prove something of a challenge.
“I’ve had so many offers to take my children to Disneyland and places that I can’t take them, and they don’t understand how upsetting that is. Taking my kids trick-or-treating or things, they assume I can’t do — so we plan to find ways to do all of those things. There are worse problems, so we’re OK.”
Asked if she plans to act again with Pitt — her co-star in the 2005 movie, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” — Jolie laughed, “Who’s going to watch the children?”
