ROBBINS AND SARANDON: PHONEY STARS
They are trying to blame horrid box office performances of their movies on Anti-War. The truth is that they are both losers at the box office

The whining by these two are just self serving crapola. They are box office losers and always have been. Neither Susan Sarandon nor Tim Robbins have had box office appeal for years and years. Here are their grosses since 1997. Robbins was an UNCREDITED bit player in "The Spy Who Shagged Me", the only hit in which he has appeared. Sources
First number is opening weekend, second number is US gross, third number is world gross. The name after the title is the role played. Not counted were voice overs in cartoons. Sarandon's anti- war and anti-American utterances have nothing to do with the fact that she has never been a star. Nobody likes her anyway. Robbins is even worse, it might be said that people actually find him repulsive.

These are Sarandon's numbers:

Released Movie Name Role 1st weekend US Gross Worldwide Gross
9/27/2002 "Moonlight Mile", JoJo Floss $1,882,703 $6,830,957 $6,785,939

12/25/1998 "Stepmom", Jackie $19,142,440 $91,137,662 $91,137,662 profitable

Tim Robbins: his directing is not included. This guy has never been anything. He can't blame this on his anti-war anti-American statements. These tiny grosses are real. Movies that haven't even grossed more than a million dollars. He wasn't the star of things like "Mission to Mars". He was a uncredited bit player in The Spy That Shagged Me which has been listed at the end only in the interests of honesty. My conclusions from all this is that Robbins' whining might actually improve his pathetic box office appeal. Below are his numbers:

10/25/2002 "TheTruth About Charlie", Mr. Bartholomew $2,270,290 $5,303,000 $5,303,000 4/12/2002 "Human Nature" Nathan Bronfman $297,340 $695,876 $695,876
1/12/2001 "Antitrust", Gary Winston $5,486,209 $10,965,209 $10,965,209
3/31/2000 "High Fidelity", Ian $6,429,107 $27,277,055 $27,277,055
3/10/2000 "Mission to Mars", Woody Blake $22,855,247 $60,874,615 $60,874,615
7/9/1999 "Arlington Road", Oliver Lang $7,400,000 $24,419,219 $24,419,219
7/18/1997 "Nothing To Lose", Nick Beam $11,617,767 $44,480,039

He did appear in "Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me" as an uncredited bit player.
6/11/1999 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me President of the United States (1969) (uncredited) $54,917,604 $206,040,085 $309,600,000 BUT I think Sarandon is unarguably one of the ten best actresses on the planet and maybe one of the top five. I am a fan of her talent and one of the few who actually loves a move called "Light Sleeper" (World Gross $1.1million) in which she was sensational. I think Robbins stinks. He is always "above" his material like he is commenting on it and not involved. He could tke acting lessons from her, but I'll bet he'd never listen.
