UPDATED!
Top 50 Entertainers - Rob is #45 overall
'40 Top Actors Under 40'
Robert Pattinson #5 and Kristen Stewart at #19
Number 5 - Robert Pattinson
Age: 24
Lead Roles: 5
Box Office Average: $161.8M
B.O. CUME (Cumulative Audience): $809.2M
Pattinson has shown his box-office chops (and choppers)in the Twilight Saga. In last spring's 'Remember Me' $19.1 million, though he had considerably less bite.
Number 19 - Kristen Stewart
Box Office Average: $83.2M
Age 20
Lead Roles: 12
Box Office CUME (Cumulative Audience): $998.4M
She is the actress every tween girl wants to be. But outside the Twilight franchise, she has yet to assert herself as box-office draw. 'The Runaways' earned $3.6 million.

'The Runaways' clearly had distribution problems; this does not in any way speak for Kristen's box-office draw. Since Kristen's past films are indies, you cannot make a sensible analogy comparing other actor's mainstream successes to her BO performance. Just saying.

"'The Runaways' distribution was at fault here"
For sure!! I wanted to see it so bad and it wasnt at my local theater :(
They don't know what they are talking about. I had to make a two hour drive to see The Runaways (totally worth it!) The distribution was horrible and I know if it had wide release it would have done great.
wait taylor is at number 3 and rob at number 5.ok nothing to say but what?
its a marketing strategy in the meanest way for not putting Kristen's pic on the cover. Meaning, you have to buy a copy inorder to find out hahaha! Averaging is a genius way of determining if whose the real and the most powerful celebrity out there. Yes to boxoffice power!
A big round of applause for Rob and Kristen! A power couple indeed!
Thanks again Shaui for this wonderful news!
I believe this is the top 40 under 40 list. I read elsewhere that Rob was #45 overall...and Kristen/ Taylor didn't even make the overall list...:(
hey taylor was not the lead in valentines day and it had a load of stars in it.not against taylor or anything.rob was lead in remember me and still was able to make money.kristen was really good in runaways.but i want rob and kristen to work in some big movies leaving behind these independent ones.i hope bel ami ,wfe and otr will get good distributors.
Taylor, was rescued by Valentine's Day BO draw. But can we say that TL carried the movie? I think not, since that movie was full of BO drawers stars like Julia Roberts and co.
remember me made 19.1 million.but i read somewhere it made 55 million.what is it about?
Shaui, totally agree with you..Kristen could not do everything...the people in charge of distribution was totally at fault.
I wanted to thank each and everyone of you in this wonderful blog site that said a prayer or two for my mother. I was told that they took off her feeding tube and she is now on a soft diet. She can talk although slow. She is still in ICU and her BP is still high. My heart is full with all the love you have given me...I am so grateful to be a part of this community. Your prayers are so welcome and please send them to my "Mother's Way"...the blood clot in her brain is still there and we are hoping that the medicines will dissolve it or clear it and her blood pressure will go down.
I can't thank you all enough...and you know who you are...my friends. I am so crying right now...but thank you...thank you.
My prayers go to Dianne also...
Much love,
Cora xxxx
It is funny that Tay is no3 due to his little '5 minutes' appearance in Valentine's day. The media keeps putting down Remember me even though it made nearly 60mil worldwide. That shows that Rob's name can make money outside the US market. I believe the dvd sales alone in US is more than 10mil, and rentals I believe is pretty high. Runaways limited release is the major cause for it's small collection, it was not even shown in my country, thank god for dvds! Anyway, it is the quality not quantity that counts. I would cringe if Rob and Kristen decide to make some cheesy rom-com that would guarantee big B.O. collection rather than good 'little' indie films.
i hear you Shaui, yes not fair.the runaways was really good and i hope they do not make the same mistake with WTTR.
OMG - Totally agree with you Shaui! Gah, this annoys the crap out of me. She is amazing. She picks role that mean something to her not just because it'll be a blockbuster/moneymakers like some Hollywood actors do. She loves what she does and it shows. True and true.
All her movies are amazing and "The Runaways" had distribution issues. I see movies because of her. So she is the draw and NOT just because of Twiligh. I have always loved her since "Panic Room" - just something about her. She's special and draws you in.
@Cora - Hey, sweetie! I am so glad to hear that your Mom is doing better. Thanks for letting us know. I will continue to pray for your Mom and your family. A lot of my close relatives have had strokes so I know what you are going through. ***BIG HUGS***. It's so hard especially when you aren't close by. I will be praying that the clot goes away and her blood pressure goes down soon! Hang in there! We're here for you!!!
@Anon 12:49 Yeah I believe so, too. Hope a scan of the other list will surface soon.
Hey guys I appreciate that we all feel the same here. We can rant but not on Taytay's expense ok? We are too matured for that. Though I agree that 'Valentine's Day' is an ensemble movie and he cannot be entirely credited for this. Again like Rob and Kristen, its not his fault. I blame EW's incompetent writers. Incomplete facts.
@Cora Oh bb. Hope your Momma's situation improves. We're all praying for her.
come on! they must have filtered in ALL of kristen's past films, include amazing ones like the safety of objects and the yellow handkerchief and the cake eaters ALL of which were indies!! wtf! plus rob's number is obviously going to be bigger since theres also the issue of, oh a little movie named HARRY POTTER!! come on! it doesnt take into account the fact she has played the lead roles in almost all of these films and gotten a huge amount of critical acclaim for them! whatever.
I agree with you Shaui, this cannot be used to represent the talent and BO draw Kristen holds. Just the mere fact that Kristen chooses meatier roles which may not always appeal to the general public is not indicative of her draw on the viewer. So Kristen and Rob are number one in my book as far as I am concerned.
@Cora..I am a relative newbie in this site but I have read and enjoyed your well rounded comments and insightful comments. I am a Fil/Am too and I understand the strain that distance from loved ones bring especially when they are not well. I pray for the speedy recovery of your mother and offer encouragement and positive thoughts for you and your family.

The list seems a bit off but I don't know that being a box office draw is all the important. I think it depends on the career an actor wants. I wouldn't call Kate Winslet a draw and she's still one of the top actors working.
A lot depends on the type of roles actors choose. Fact of the matter is Kristen seems to be an indie girl at heart. Maybe that might not bring in tons of money, but it brings respect a lot of the time. She's the one who is singled out for her talent the most from the Twi cast regardless of the boys being a bigger "box office draw" or not.
Kristen's career might not be as commercial as Tay's but I think it's going to be really exciting b/c of the intense roles she picks. She's fearless.
Dear @EW, When YOU (#EW and other retarded publications) quote #RobertPattinson's & #KristenStewart's box office numbers (and put a snarky analysis afterwards) it does them a disservice. It doesn't show the full scope of the picture. They have brought movies financing that would not have been financed. And brought small (and totally fab) indie movies to a broader audience. More people were able to appreciate the brilliance of #TheRunaways because of #Kris not in spite of her. And the artistically gripping #RememberMe was brought to the screen because of #Rob not in spite of him. These are movies that were financed with the help of their association with these films. However, they are not MAIN STREAM blockbusters. They were not MADE TO BE mainstream blockbusters. HELLO, #TheRunaways screened at #Sundance! Clearly, an artistic piece not a bank breaker (DUH!). And quoting their box office records and scoffing at them does not do credit to their artistic contributions they have proudly added to their resume. #Kristen AND #Rob could both have MIND BLOWING box office records, but they would have sacrificed their art for it. Let’s give credit where credit is due. #RobertPattinsonANDKristenStewart will not sacrifice their art just for the draw of mainstream Hollywood, which is why we love them. #KristenStewart is not the next #JenniferAniston or #ReeseWitherspoon. (Hearts to Reese but seriously – she has played A LOT of fluff. Kristen – not a fluff kind of girl. CLEARLY) She won't play mindless rom-com to inflate her box office numbers. She will pick gripping, dramatic roles like Joan Jett, Mallory (#WTTR), or Marylou (#OTR). And Rob will pick emotionally dynamic roles like Tyler(#RememberMe) or Jacob (#WFE). Or complex roles like #PabloPicasso or #GeorgesDunroy (#BelAmi). And we should praise them for it. Because the “fresh faces” in Hollywood, aren't really so Hollywood after all. They are not #celebutards who we can point and chuckle at their MINDLESS antics!! Which is why quoting their box office numbers like that is the only factor that should matter – is wrong and unfair to their careers. XOXO, *SuzyQ* P.S. #RespectRobsten #KSIBTU JS
Yea, lots of "apples and oranges" on this list. Plus the critique of Kristen's and Rob's BO draw is a bit harsh, especially K's.
I'm also shaking my head over the writing which makes Taylor look like the bigger BO draw - that is yet to be determined from his new movie (the money for an ensemble movie, with something like 20 stars, should not count on a list like this, IMO).
I heard that Jonah Hex failed to the box office it is not bec the of the distribution but the movie itself is not quite good as well as the lead actress. But in the case of Runaways yeah I agreed it is the distributor's fault.
I totally agree with you. We want to see "TR" so bad, but they dont even sell DVD in our country. Love Kristen from far east!
robert is next james dean.ew can't digest it.
@Cora, we're praying for your mother. I really really hope she will get better. We're by your side, Cora, always! *big hugs*
And I'm prying for Diana, too.
With love, Maka
This EW list baffled me,especially putting Taylor #3..hmm..I don't think Taylor was the box office draw fo that valentines day movie,...@suzyQ..ITA w/u..excellent comments!!.anyway,since the fiasco of EW- sexy beast poll where that Ian from vampire diaries beat Rob to second place I sort of made a pledge to my self that will no longer buy their mags..to me Rob and Kristen are my Top Celebrities!!for 2010 and beyond!!!
I thought I read somwhere that Kristen prefers independant films. This list is going on the power of the name. Like how much money can these Celebs bring in just by appearing in a film. It has nothing to do with anything but how much money they can make for a studio, that is what determines their "value" as an actor.
Talent has nothing to do with it. If it did, this list would be way different.
I think the list is complete bull****!! P.l.ea~s.e!! they put the Valentine'S Day's record on him?? It's NUTS!!
RM grossed a total of $56M, domestically and overseas. Then $10million in DVD sales. So all total $66 million. I think that is excellent for a little movie that cost only $16m to make. RM will always be one of my favorite movies. Got my Entertainment in the mail today and they left out Kristen's picture as #19. That made me furious.
EW, got a big problem in mathematics! Its hard to follow how exactly they sum up the BO result of the three Twi sagas. Its hard to tell too if they credited Rob from his role in the HP:GOF.
Yup thats exactly what I meant. If they credited Tay for his role in valentine's day, then they should have done the same with Rob for his role in HP:GOB and HP:OP.
I am starting to think that the editors of EW are lossing their mind, or they are having issues with Rob. Last time, the sexy beast goes to the not-so-sey Ian what'shisname.And this time they put Taylor over Rob? Sham on them!!
