Success of Jolie’s Films: Affected by Nudity Scenes?
June 26th, 2008, All Angelina Jolie, Angelina's films,In an article by the Reelzchannel.com, the staff compared Angelina’s past films and divided into three categories – “voice only” (for animated movies), “no nudity” and “nudity”, along with average earnings for each category. While it may b
e an obvious answer that Angelina Jolie earns more money when she exposes more flesh, the chart shows otherwise.
In the chart, Jolie’s animated movies like Kung Fu Panda, Shark Tale and Beowulf averaged $132 million in the box office, while her films without nudity like Alexander, The Bone Collector, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Lara Croft and Girl, Interrupted among others earned only an average of $53 million. The most shocking statistics on the chart is that all of Angelina’s films wherein she had nude scenes only earned an average of $9.9 million.
The Reelzchannel’s analysis ended up in bashing Angelina’s new movie ‘Wanted’ as “in danger” in terms of box office earnings, because Jolie had her naked breasts exposed in the film. I’m not really sure if they’re sarcastic or not, but didn’t they stop and think that movies for kids sell more than any other types of film, which could be the reason for the higher earnings on animated flicks?
Just my two cents.
