Jen and Angelina have another reason to feud: box office supremacy!
Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston may be rivals, but now they share the title of Hollywood’s most consistent female big-screen draw!
An article on our sister site Deadline raises the point that both women are the only two in Hollywood to have top-billing in eight movies in the last eight years which gross at least $100 million worldwide. These two prove they can always open a movie strong — audiences love them!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — which actress makes better films?

Angie is a great actress. So what?? I still like Jennifer because she’s a strong woman and remains to live a positive life. She finally moved on with her life too and that’s all that matters to me and to a lot of people too.

Jolie is the highest paid actress in the world per film and has many film award nominations and wins. She is the creme de la creme of her profession. Just like Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant,
Alex Rodriguez, Sydney Crosby are to their professions.
Aniston is down in salary with a whole bunch of other actresses and has not many film acting accolades. If acting were a sport I would call her a journeyman.

No holie makes less than jen. Jem makes 15 m per movie and jolie makes like about 12 per movie do the math. So jen makes. Also jolie only made to the top cuz sandra bullok didnt make a any movies this year. Lats year holie make 27 n jen made 30 and dey wer 7 th and 5th place. Cameron diaz makes the same as jen. So jolie is not the highest paid actress just cuz she made forbes top list with two movies and one animated movie while jen made 2 movies.

At the very least, Jennifer has benefitted. I don’t think she would be as popular now if it hadn’t been for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. She has attached herself to them and it sells.

Angelina Jolie all the wayy. The numbers on this are kinda misleading…although Both Aniston and Jolie are big openers domestically, Jolie KILLS Aniston overseas. Its not even a competition. And if you adjust for inflation, Jolie is one of verrrry few actresses to have her movies make over five billion total.
And also, none of her movies over the past couple years have been flops. Salt made more money than The Tourist, and The Tourist broke 300 million

Jen all the way! Jolie sucks she doesn’t even have a career anymore really. She hasn’t done crap nothing worth watching in a long time. & jen has both looks and an awesome personality that’s hard to find in a good woman Jolie has looks and dysfunctionality really. People are fooled by her thinking she changed her life by adopting a,bunch of kids from around the world and her promoting everything good she does for the media please! A crazy b1tch is a crazy b1tch nothing can change that.
Haha!

Angelina might be a good actress before, but not anymore…that’s why most of her latest movies are flops. It only make money this days if she is with great male leads like Johnny Depp, and if she is the voice of cartoons like in Kungfu Panda..lol.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT ANGELINA IS THE STAR IN EVERY MOVIE NOT LIKE JENNIFER WHO IS PART OF THE ENSEMBLE CAST OR THE SUPPORTING ROLE

Changeling was a flop! It made far less dough than the bounty hunter and had a very high budget, that’s why angelina sticks to action movies where she can be filmed naked during shower scenes and get freaky with her co-stars. That’s the only reason why her movies make money. Men pay to see her acting dirty, like they would for kim kardashian! Wonder what her kids will think of mommy when they’re all grown up lol. At least when Aniston acts dirty she brings her comedic skills into the role like in horrible bosses. Jen all the way! Angelina is just a poster girl for former self-mutilating drug-addicts everywhere

Changeling made of 100 million, with a 55 million budget, not a flop. Jealousy…..Jen will never be the actress Angie is.

Misleading information. Angelina is the only one who can headline a movie on her own and draw an audience-Salt, Wanted… Aniston’s male co-stars are the key attraction in her moveies (oh, and the dog). Also, whereas Angelina’s total only includes her movies, Aniston’s does not.But, one has to agree, they are consistently topping the list in terms of earnings.

“Aniston’s male co-stars are the key attraction in her movies” Oh please, typical comment from a typical hater. Aniston was the lead in the break-up and along came polly. In marley and me, most critics praised her performance rather that owen’s (who was just dull) and the dog (who was called one-dimesional) Even during friends, SHE was the show. Everyone was talking about rachel from the start. Just go with it? Again majority of the movie-goers were female and critics said she outshorn everyone else. Horrible bosses? Even though she wasn’t the lead, her face was the most prominent on the posters.

Jen has never had a hit movie where she was the lead(name above title) unlike AJ .Salt and Changeling were all AJ. They haven’t done a sequel to Wanted yet because they can’t replace her.

Jolie actually headlines her movies. She is willing to go it alone on her name only for a lot of her films. anustain cannot make a buck without a a stong leading male actor.

Aniston has more range; she can do comedy, drama and action. Jolie couldn’t do comedy in a million years!

Range, all Jen does is rom-coms, and not even good at those.

I’m happy for Jennifer that she finally found the man who truly care about her. I wish her all the luck. Jen, you may not be the greatest actress in holly wood, I still support you because you remain to be a good and beautiful person. Stay young, pretty, and stylish.
