[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be interested in how box office draw is measured. Is it a hard statistic? I know Jennifer Lawrence is in the tabloids a lot, but I don't know if that translates to people attending her movies. I suspect people saw "The Hunger Games" because of the source material.

If I had enough money to fund several generations after me, I would gather up my rich actress friends and basically go on strike. One Christmas season with no box-office-draw female leads, and I suspect the wage issue will change. So, while I'm a PA fan, I think it's silly that actresses would try to speak for the rest of us here. I think she would have come off much better if she'd limited her comments to wage discrepancies among her fellow actresses.[/quote]

Uh, seriously, do you know how many actresses there are in the world who could out-act any US actress?  Why do you think the cast of Downton Abbey is being heavily recruited to do US films?  They can act and will work for Hollywood wages which are much, much, much higher than what they are paid in the UK.  I, for one, would be glad to see Patricia Arquette replaced by any good British actress.[/quote]
