So the quiz is titled "Top box office stars since 2000" which is a quantifiable metric. Then the subtitle says as voted on by movie exhibitors. If the answers are the result of a poll, then it isn't really a box office quiz, now is it?

I was wondering the exact same thing. If it's based on votes, then isn't it more like... the ten stars popularly perceived to be the biggest box office draws?

yeah it should be renamed, especially if Sacha Baron Cohen and Dakota *insert high pitched wail here* Fanning can get on here.

This is from the linked source: "The Top 10 Poll, which appeared annually in Quigley's International Motion Picture Almanac has long been regarded as one of the most reliable barometers of a movie star's box-office power, as film exhibitors base their decisions on one economic criterion: those stars who will bring patrons into their theaters."

This is one of those quizzes I will come back to now and again, just to see if I improve.

When I saw Shia LeBeouf, my first thought was, "Who is she?" After I looked him up I still have no clue why he would appear on this list - twice.

The Tranformers series Shia starred in was a ubiquitous box office success. That's what this quiz is asking for - who starred in the most profitable movies for the listed years i.e. which stars brought in the most money. In Shia's case it just happened it was the movies and not the star power that brought in the money.

It says in the description that the poll was discontinued in 2013, so there's no updating possible.

I don't think any poll of this kind is valid if you do not include Morgan Freeman.

There are 5 "comedians" I despise, and 4 of them are on this list:

Ferrell

Carell

Sandler

McCarthy

Stiller is close to being in this group, but unlike those listed above he can occasionally make me laugh.

I feel similarly about Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and Melissa McCarthy. I don't mind some of Ada Sandler's older work though, so for my list I would take him off and replace him with Sacha Baron Cohen. I couldn't laugh at any of his "comedy" if my life depended on it.

Christ there's some absolute toss on this list innit - I was going for premium actors and actresses only to find out Adam Sandler's on here x
