Looking at Clooney’s box office statistics I find that domestically out of 36 movies, only 6 of his films have cracked the $100 Million mark.
He has better success world wide with 14 of his films doing $100 or much better. Although some of those did not make any money, like Tomorrowland.
He has made a lot of Indie and Art House type pictures that were so so and made little or no money.
Take away his Ocean 11 films, Gravity and The Perfect Storm and his average is not too hot. Real hit or miss actor.
This latest film will not play well with that plot, probably won’t do any better than last year’s Hail Caesar.
#5 Plus he was never the lead in the big pictures.
