I wouldn't say she was taltented.   Jessica Alba has the talent of getting a lot of people to see bad movies just for her.  Most people don't have that talent.

She is able to create great demand for a product that people are willing to purchase.

 

Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.  It's pure and simple logic.

I wasn't aware that she's starred in any successful movies (or that she can be considered the reason for her movies' success).

They wouldn't keep paying her if you she didn't.

Movie executives aren't stupid.

The trick with movies is, there are two markets.  Ever notice when a bad action movie or comedy gets a sequel despite the fact that it was both critically panned and bombed at the box office.

That's because the DVD market made a ton.

You'd be surprised. Eddie Murphy has hosted a handful of tremendous flops over the years (Pluto Nash comes to mind) and he still gets command over his own pay for a flick.

The movie world is a murky business, and much like the video game industry they have their own blindspots and (from a pure business perspective) nonsensical biases
