Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Robsten Top Another List, Because Why Not?
The folks at Forbes certainly know what theyre doing. Usually, we turn to them for the big lists, like the Celebrity 100, the Worlds Most Powerful Women or the Hip-Hop Cash Kings. But those take a lot of work, and sometimes, they just need something fast and easy (were just assuming here, cause you know, wed never be so gratuitous about our lists). So, they do things like this weeks Hollywoods Top-Earning On-Screen Couples, which is topped by Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, followed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Were very happy to see the Harry Potter and Twilight stars at the top of the list, natch. But it does feel a bit like the editors sat down and said, What kind of list can we do that will feature the stars of Harry Potter and Twilight, and maybe also Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers? They admit themselves that the whole thing is based on numbers from Box Office Mojo (the total earnings from movies with the stars as a couple from the last five years).
Still, here we are, ! looking at the list. So theyve hooked us again! Well give you the full list below, but also we want to come up with some kind of challenge for the Forbes editors, just to make sure they stay on top of their game. Maybe the next feature should be something like Americas Highest-Grossing Puppet Shows or Top-Earning Subway Mariachi Groups. Thatll take a little shoe leather.1.
