Wrong.


ROTK and Titanic.

Bernard Hill

Theoden and Captian.

jeff goldblum, independence day and jurassic park

most likely

okay i was about to correct myself .. internationally thats #1 & #2

We have a winner! Man that was quick. How'd you get it so fast? I didn't even realize this connection until a short time ago and I thought, wow, this guy's been in the two biggest movies of all time............

His characters:

Titanic: $1,845.0 Billion gross worldwide

Bernard Hill .... Capt. Edward J. Smith


Return of the King: $1,118.5 Billion gross worldwide

Bernard Hill .... Theoden

***************

Good job!

yes pretty funny how that works out.


I wonder if his price went up even tho he's not 'too' well known

of all time : tom cruise


Top 2 money makers are Titanic and Star Wars IV - A New Hope...

any common cast between them?


edit... those two are the top 2 at the box office.

remember Star Wars IV hasn't been released on DVD yet...

True enough..........I wonder if I also should have given the hint, he dies in both movies............that death scene in ROTK, now that was phenomenal........

did you just notice that Hill was in both on seeing the movies or what?

Star Wars "a new hope" is #14 over-all. You are only taking into account North American box office, which these days usually averages less than 40% of a blockbuster's total take........with your figures you are missing out on such huge markets as the UK, Germany, Japan, France, etc etc.

Yes I didnt remember his name but as soon as I thought of Titanic and then him,,, the bell went off in my head about ROTK.

I edited it to sat Box Office only.


Star Wars will pass them all whe it finally comes out on DVD ... 9.21.04

this is movie box office only, not dvd sales

yeah Bernard Hill must be telling his agent this........."I was in the two biggest money making movies of all time..........get me more money!"
