What Nic's worth

It seems I am not the only one with reservations about Nicole Kidman's talents. According to Forbes magazine, she is the star who returns the least to the studios that employ her. The Forbes list (here in The Independent) shows that Vince Vaughan returns $14.73 for each dollar spent on his wages, while Our Nic returns just $1.01. Interestingly, Nic's mate Naomi Watts is No. 5 from the top of the list, returning a healthy $12.16, while her ex, Tom Cruise, is near the bottom, returning just $3.99.
Just as I thought ! She
Just as I thought ! She hasn't been worth what they pay her for years. So why do they continue to pay her so much when she returns so little ? Perhaps there's more money for the investors to make when the project comes in at a loss.
Interesting theory. And,
Interesting theory. And, as I've said before, I doubt Australia, for all its hype, will be a global smash. It's bound to do well in Australia, but it would need significant international success to make back its budget and then some.
I doubt that "Australia"
I doubt that "Australia" will be a hit in Australia ! As I've said before, I've seen the trailer over recent weeks. Countless 100's of thousands more have seen the same trailer. You normally hear people indicating that this or that seems like a film worth seeing, when the trailer ends. Haven't heard any such talk in three outings to the flicks in the last two weeks.
