[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The National Research Group, a very reputable polling company, looked at which top stars can actually bring people to the movie theaters. As in, they didn't merely ask respondents which celebs they liked. They asked who would actually convince them to go to see a movie. Blake Lively was in the top 25 last year and fell to 101, lol.

I agree this is bad but there's additional context there. I listened to a podcast where they interviewed someone from NRG about this list (I think it was The Town with Matt Bellamy). They didn't discuss Lively for more than a moment, but the guy from NRG noted that timing can play a role in where people land on the list due to recency bias. Lively landed in the top 25 last year because they happened to do their poll in the summer as all her IEWU promotion was really gearing up. She was also coming off the success of A Simple Plan, which had gotten a huge second life in streaming. So she was really peaking and wound up much higher ranking than she'd ever had before. An actor who doesn't have a movie coming out or isn't in active promotion is simply not going to rank as high. So even without the lawsuits, you'd expect her to rank lower this year. Yes she had Another Simply Plan, but it was straight to streaming and the promotion has been much more muted than what she did for IEWU.

My takeaway from that is that last year was clearly a huge year for Lively's career, and she really saw her star rise. Probably the biggest year/film of her career.[/quote]

Yeah she saw her star rise as a litigant.  You are delusional if you think Americans are clamoring for more streaming films from Blake Lively. Also, no director will want to get near her since every word and look is labeled as harrassment.[/quote]

Blah blah blah Baldoni good, Lively bad, forever and ever, amen

I agree with the other PP and am surprised Lively would normally rank as high as she was showing there. [/quote]
