If only those damn pirates weren't stealing so much from her, she is almost living in poverty from it.

"Lawrence made an estimated $52 million between June 2014 and June 2015, earning her the number one spot on Forbes’ list of highest-paid actresses."

You know times are bad when your only makeing $52million pr year.

I know Jesus you know that the pirates have robbed so much from those A-List actors they must be all above her on Forbes overall list of earners right? Because they've taken cash from them all... somehow.

We don't live in an age where stars carry big blockbuster movies the way they did previously.  It's more about the property they are in.

Actors do contribute, but when I look at this list I don't see how actors were the number one reason these were the highest grossing films last year.

Yeah the days of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, etc. being able to carry movies on their back are kinda over. The age of the "movie star" at least for now has kinda faded.

Even Dwayne Johnson is past $5m and very close to $6m, largely in part due to Fast and Furious.

Edit: In fact since Jlaw has been doing movies (2008) the movies that had her in it has made $5b. Since 2008 Dwayne Johnson movies made $5.145b.

I wonder how many others have crossed that milestone. 

Plenty:

 

The Rock - $5.8B

Harrison Ford - $8.6B

Tom Cruise - $8.6B

 

In any case, I think her days of leading blockbusters are over with Mockingjay Part 2 and Apocalypse crashing and burning.

if you're talking worldwide box office there should be quite a few actors who have passed this number.

That said, its really not that impressive if you take a star of a franchise that has had a lot of films; i.e. starring members from things like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Star Wars, etc. because often just the one huge franchise will be a massive percentage of the total

Since the moment I saw her in Winter's Bone I knew she was gonna be a big star.

Silver lining playbook was the only film that she carried the rest would have done the same with any other actress.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Yup, because she and she alone is the only, exclusively, solely, single-ly uniquely one that responsible for all those $$$. Queen of Talent is like on the level of King-Jon-un.

Distributor/investor = Jennifer Lawrence wallet.
Director = Queen of Mockingbird.
Producer = Katniss Everdeen
Actress = the one dat won the Oscar for best actress in 2012.
Promoter = "Jlaw".

Jlaws is <3, Jlaw is lyfe.

Thanks for proving my point. Mockingjay Part 2 was expected to be a $850M+ movie. And Apocalypse a $750M+ movie.
