Despite his Oscar controversy, Will Smith remains on number seven in the top list of actors who manage who pull audience to the theatres

Despite the Oscar Controversy, Will Smith Still Remains in This List of Top 10 Actors Who Pull Crowds to Theaters

Will Smith has proven to be uncancellable. The actor was regarded to be one of
the biggest stars in the industry, up until the Oscar controversy shook his
entire world, making people wonder if he would ever get out of it. The actor has
apparently not managed to bring the bounce back but remains on the list of top
stars that can still pull fans to the theaters.

Both fans and celebrities went against him after his actions. Even his latest
release, Emancipation, suffered as a result of the outrage. More than a year
later now, he finally seems to be bouncing back, gaining popularity. From being
criticized to being in the top ten, here is how Smith has remained popular
throughout.


WILL SMITH RANKS NUMBER SEVEN ON THE LIST OF FAN-FAVORITE ACTORS

What pulls the audience to a movie often has more to do with the cast than
anyone else. Perhaps that is why they get paid big amounts for every role.
According to Puck.News
[https://puck.news/only-old-movie-stars-matter-to-moviegoers/], the National
Research Group conducted research on the top stars that bring audiences to watch
new movies. It consists of a mix of Hollywood actors and actresses. What is
surprising is that it also has Will Smith’s name on it.



Despite the Oscar controversy being discussed, and fans being against him, the
polls prove the opposite. He stands at number 7 on the top list of actors that
attract most moviegoers. Tom Cruise remains on the top list, followed by Dwayne
‘Rock’ Johnson, although the latter’s Black Adam failed to impress. Will Smith
stands just below Julia Roberts and above Leonardo DiCaprio.

After all, he holds a record for giving out seven consecutive movies that made a
box office profit of more than $100 million, through a wide variety of roles.
The list also shows how classic actors still remain in demand, when compared to
the old ones.

Meanwhile, his popularity rising again means that some of his previously paused
projects are now back on track.


SMITH HAS MOVIES QUEUED UP WITH THE OSCAR CONTROVERSY BEHIND HIM NOW

It took more than a year for Will Smith to see an improvement in his popularity,
which sank post the controversy. After spending months underground, he went
hands-on to improve his PR, whether through meets or social media posts.
